Question 15

Spot the punctuation error in this defining-clause context. There are many buses, and the sentence must identify the ones serving the airport. Which revision is standard?

  1. The buses, which serve the airport leave here.
  2. The buses which serve the airport, leave here.
  3. The buses which serve the airport leave from this stop.Bonne réponse
  4. The buses, that serve the airport, leave here.

Explication

The clause serving the airport restricts buses to the relevant group, so no comma should divide it from its antecedent. A comma after buses is the closest distractor because it wrongly signals that the clause is merely parenthetical.
