Answer 1

Option C correctly uses commas to set off a nonrestrictive clause: 'Plato, who was a Greek philosopher, wrote the tragic story of the ancient civilization Atlantis.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The option that correctly uses commas to set off a nonrestrictive clause is:

C. Plato, who was a Greek philosopher, wrote the tragic story about the ancient civilization of Atlantis.

• Nonrestrictive clauses are not essential to the meaning of the sentence and can be removed without changing the sentence's basic meaning.
• They should be set off by commas.
• In this sentence, the information that Plato was a Greek philosopher is additional information that does not change the overall meaning of the sentence, so it is nonrestrictive.
