Question

Which is the best way to combine the following sentences using an adjective clause?

Madame Rammelk will be joining us for dinner. She is quite a distinguished pianist.

A.) Madame Rammelk, who is quite a distinguished pianist, will be joining us for dinner.

B.) Madame Rammelk, who is quite a distinguished pianist will be joining us for dinner.

C.) Madame Rammelk will be joining us for dinner, who is quite a distinguished pianist.​

Answer 1

A.) Madame Rammelk, who is quite a distinguished pianist, will be joining us for dinner.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sentence A provides the name, then adds an appositive clause (extra information to help understand context), and continues the sentence by describing the action of the subject.

Sentence B lacks the comma after "pianist" to mark the end of the appositive clause for clear separation.

Sentence C is ambiguous because it is difficult to tell if "who" is a pronoun that is referring back to Madame Rammelk or dinner, which can cause confusion.
