Which sentence about the published findings is punctuated correctly?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Although the data were limited, the findings, which were published in 2020, remain influential.
- Step 1: A comma ends the introductory clause, and the non-defining relative clause needs commas on both sides. Step 2. Only the sentence 'Although the data were limited, the findings, which were published in 2020, remain influential' has all three commas in the right places. Answer: Although the data were limited, the findings, which were published in 2020, remain influential. Why not the others: The others omit a required comma or place one inside the main clause.
