which sentence is punctuated correctly? the house which has been vacant—is finally for sale. the statue, which is made of copper is well crafted. one country—that i would like to visit—is australia. one play that i would like to read is julius caesar.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- In the first option, the dash placement is incorrect as the clause "which has been vacant" is a non - essential relative clause and doesn't need that dash placement.
- In the second option, a comma should follow "copper" to set off the non - essential relative clause "which is made of copper".
- In the third option, "that" is a restrictive relative pronoun and dashes are not appropriate for restrictive clauses.
- The fourth option "One play that I would like to read is Julius Caesar." has correct punctuation as "that" introduces a restrictive relative clause and no additional punctuation is needed.
Answer:
One play that I would like to read is Julius Caesar.
