Answer
Brief Explanations:
To determine the correct comma placement, we analyze the non - restrictive relative clause "who draws comic books in his free time". A non - restrictive relative clause provides additional, non - essential information about the noun it modifies (here, "Noah"). Such clauses should be set off by commas at the beginning and the end.
- In the first option "Noah, who draws comic books in his free time, wants to write a graphic novel", the clause "who draws comic books in his free time" is properly set off with commas.
- In the second option, the comma after "books" incorrectly splits the phrase "in his free time" from the rest of the clause, disrupting the meaning.
- In the third option, the comma after "who" is incorrect as it splits the relative pronoun "who" from its clause.
- In the fourth option, the commas around "in his free time" are incorrect as they split a necessary part of the clause and also fail to properly set off the relative clause.
Answer:
A. Noah, who draws comic books in his free time, wants to write a graphic novel.
