A nonrestrictive modifier adds information that is not essential for the reader to understand the sentence. In case the nonrestrictive modifier is eliminated, the meaning would remain the same. Only nonrestrictive modifiers are separated by commas. Taking this into account, the sentences that contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers are:

My oldest sister, Maria, is a pilot - If we remove Maria, we can still identify which sister we are talking about.My two best friends, Tory and Monica, met me at the movies - If we remove Tory and Monica, we can still identify which two people we are referring to. Bulldogs, which I love, are the cutest! - If we remove which I love, we can still identify which dogs we are talking about.

The sentences that contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers are sentences b, c, and e. The rest of the options are incorrect.

Non-restrictive modifiers are used to add details in a sentence in a way that the sentence is perfectly understandable without it too. They are separated with the help of commas.

The options that contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers are as follows:

•Option b: in this sentence, even if we remove the word Maria, the reader will be able to know which person in being talked about.

•Option c: in this sentence, even if we remove the names of Tory and Monica, the reader will be able to understand that the conversation is about them.

•Option e: in this sentence, even if we omit the words-which I love, the reader can still understand the type of dogs that are being referred to.

The options that do not contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers are as follows:

•Option a: if we remove the word John, we won’t be able to understand the brother being talked about.

•Option d: if we remove the name of the book Robinson Crusoe, we won’t be able to understand which book is being called a classic.
