qzw9 nri lesson: commas with nonrestrictive clauses & appositive phrases
add or remove punctuation, if necessary, from the sentence below:
agregue o elimine puntuación, si es necesario, de la oración siguiente.
for my birthday, wednesday addams got me a huge balloon which i tied around my wrist.

Explanation:

The sentence "For my birthday, Wednesday Addams got me a huge balloon which I tied around my wrist" has a restrictive relative clause "which I tied around my wrist" modifying "balloon". Since it's restrictive (the clause is necessary to identify the balloon), no comma is needed before "which". But wait, actually, if we check the original sentence's punctuation: the part "which I tied around my wrist" is a restrictive clause, so no comma. Wait, maybe the error is that if it were non - restrictive, we would use a comma, but here it's restrictive. Wait, no, let's re - examine. The sentence as is: "For my birthday, Wednesday Addams got me a huge balloon which I tied around my wrist." The "which" clause is restrictive, so no comma. But maybe the original problem is about non - restrictive clauses. Wait, perhaps the correct punctuation is to add a comma before "which" if it's non - restrictive, but in this case, maybe the clause is non - restrictive? Wait, no, the balloon is defined by the fact that it was tied around the wrist. Wait, maybe the intended correction is to add a comma before "which" to make it non - restrictive. So the corrected sentence would be: "For my birthday, Wednesday Addams got me a huge balloon, which I tied around my wrist."

Answer:

Add a comma before "which" to get "For my birthday, Wednesday Addams got me a huge balloon, which I tied around my wrist."
