Answer 1

Answer: The Frenchman, Georges Méliès (1861-1938), came up with the idea of telling a story in a movie

Step-by-step explanation:

"Georges Méliès (1861-1938)" is an essential element of the sentence because it specifies which Frenchman is being referred to. Therefore, it should not be set off by commas. However, "Georges Méliès" is a non-essential element because it provides additional information about the Frenchman but is not necessary to understand who is being referred to. Therefore, it should be set off by commas. The correct version of the sentence uses commas correctly to set off "Georges Méliès" but does not set off the essential element "1861-1938" with commas.
