Explanation:

A non - restrictive clause is a clause that adds extra information about the noun. It is set off by commas. In the original sentence "Yo - Yo Ma who was born in Paris is a Chinese American cellist", the non - restrictive clause "who was born in Paris" is not properly punctuated. The correct way is to put commas before and after the non - restrictive clause.

Answer:

Yo - Yo Ma, who was born in Paris, is a Chinese American cellist.
