Which of the following forms of punctuation is best suited for setting off most brief, nonessential information such as appositives, adjective phrases, and adverb phrases in more formal writing?

a.
parentheses

b.
brackets

c.
commas

d.
dash

The correct answer is C. Commas

Explanation:

In grammar, commas are a punctuation mark mainly used to introduce a pause between different elements of a sentence or between two sentences, but besides this, comma can be used to introduce extra information that clarifies or explains one element in a sentence but it not essential to this, this is the case of using commas to enclose appositives, adjective phrases, and adverb phrases. Also, different to parentheses, brackets or dashes that can also be used to introduce extra and nonessential information, the information set in commas grammatically belongs to the sentence and the break is not as drastic as in those, which makes commas ideal in formal writing. Therefore, the best punctuation marks for setting off nonessential information in more formal writing are commas.
