To determine which sentence contains a nonrestrictive clause and is punctuated correctly, we need to analyze each sentence and identify the nonrestrictive clause and the proper punctuation used to set it off from the rest of the sentence.
The teacher packed picnic lunches for all the students-which they loved-and ate lunch outside with them at recess.
This sentence uses a nonrestrictive clause (âwhich they lovedâ) but the punctuation is incorrect. Nonrestrictive clauses should be set off by commas, not dashes.
The teacher packed picnic lunches for all the students which they loved-and ate lunch outside with them at recess.
This sentence incorrectly places a dash before âandâ and does not properly set off the nonrestrictive clause with commas.
The teacher packed picnic lunches (for all the students) which they loved and ate lunch outside with them at recess.
This sentence incorrectly uses parentheses around âfor all the studentsâ and does not properly set off the nonrestrictive clause with commas.
The teacher packed picnic lunches for all the students which thoy loved and ate lunch outside with them (at recess).
This sentence contains a typo (âthoyâ instead of âtheyâ) and incorrectly uses parentheses around âat recessâ and does not properly set off the nonrestrictive clause with commas.
None of the provided sentences are punctuated correctly according to standard English grammar rules for nonrestrictive clauses. A correctly punctuated sentence with a nonrestrictive clause would look like this:
The teacher packed picnic lunches for all the students, which they loved, and ate lunch outside with them at recess.
This sentence uses commas to set off the nonrestrictive clause âwhich they lovedâ from the rest of the sentence, indicating that the information in the clause is additional and not essential to the meaning of the main clause.
