Answer
Brief Explanations:
To determine the correct comma placement, we analyze the non - restrictive clause "who draws comic books in his free time". A non - restrictive clause provides additional, non - essential information about the noun it modifies (here, "Noah"). Commas should be placed before and after this clause to set it off from the main sentence.
- In the first option "Noah, who draws comic books in his free time, wants to write a graphic novel", the commas are correctly placed around the non - restrictive clause.
- In the second option, the comma after "books" incorrectly splits the phrase "draws comic books in his free time", disrupting the meaning.
- In the third option, the comma after "who" is incorrect as it misplaces the start of the non - restrictive clause.
- In the fourth option, the commas split the sentence in a way that makes the phrase "in his free time" seem out of place and disrupts the flow of the non - restrictive clause.
Answer:
A. Noah, who draws comic books in his free time, wants to write a graphic novel.
