Complete the food critic's dramatic restaurant review by choosing the correct option for each blank.
The mushroom soup we ordered tasted like salty dishwater.
Chef Pierre , whose temper is legendary, threw a flying baguette across the room.
The head waiter , who was terrified, immediately hid behind the dessert cart.
The correct sentences are: The mushroom soup we ordered tasted like salty dishwater. Chef Pierre**, whose temper is legendary,** threw a flying baguette across the room. The head waiter**, who was terrified,** immediately hid behind the dessert cart.
we ordered is a defining relative clause. Because the relative pronoun (that/which) is the object of the verb "ordered," it can be completely omitted! No commas are needed.
Chef Pierre is a proper noun, so we use commas for extra information. Whose correctly shows possession (his temper).
The head waiter is a specific, unique role in the restaurant, so we use commas. Once again, that is never used in non-defining clauses!
