❗ ❗ ❗ Many people consider the comma to be just a small punctuation mark and, at times, NEGLECT to use it properly. ❗ ❗ ❗

However, a comma can make a COMPLETE DIFFERENCE in sentences containing relative clauses.

➢ We have already known that there are two types of relative clauses:

- Defining relative clauses, for example: The car (that) she bought last month was rather expensive.

- Non-defining relative clauses, for example: Last week, I met Tom, who is my old friend.

⚡ Why's that?

❏ Defining relative clause provides necessary and "indispensable" information of something or someone so that we can understand what is being inferred to => This type of relative clause does not need a comma.

❏ On the other hand, Non-Defining Relative Clause provides additional information and without that information, the sentence still makes complete sense => This type of relative clause needs a comma.

                                                            So, let's pay attention to the little comma!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best way to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet. Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions made by people to theretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions. Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets cam take, they are all similar in their essential aspects.

Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent considerations that all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision.

Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question "What will I do after graduation?" A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.

A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to "What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?"
