Noah who, draws comic books in his free time, wants to write a graphic novel.

Noah who draws comic books, in his free time, wants to write a graphic novel.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Noah, who draws comic books in his free time, wants to write a graphic novel.

Commas are used to separate clauses and are being placed around where there are nonrestrictive modifiers.

Noah is a dependent clause because itself explains the subject and what he is going to do in a given period of time.
