Passport Exercise Answer #2
Careful! This sentence has a dangling modifier. "Having many beautiful places to visit" modifies "the world", but "the world" is not placed close to this phrase. Try writing this:
Having many beautiful places to visit, the world is exciting to travel.

London Ticket Answer #1
Whoops!! It's comma splices again. These are two independent phrases, so they can't be connected by a comma. You can fix this in several ways -- if you like the comma, try adding a conjunction. It rains often in London, sobe sure to take an umbrella.
You can also use other forms of punctuation to help you out. Go back and try again! * * *
London Ticket Answer #3
Read the sentence again. Can you identify two independent clauses? There are two, so that means without punctuation, this is a run-on sentence. You could break it into two sentences, like this:
It rains often in London. Be sure to take an umbrella.
You can also use punctuation to combine them.

Tokyo Ticket Answer #2
Read the sentence closely and see if you can identify any relative clauses. "Which is the yen" is a relative clause in this sentence. Now, decide if it is restrictive or non-restrictive...that is, is this clause necessary to the meaning of the sentence? Can you take it out and retain the meaning of the sentence? If so, it is a non-restrictive clause. Non-restrictive clauses are set off by commas.

Tokyo Ticket Answer #3
You've got the right idea. "Which is the yen" is a restrictive relative clause, which means it is not essential to the meaning of the sentence -- and restrictive clauses are set off by commas. If they are in the middle of the sentence, though, they must be COMPLETELY set off by commas. Check to be sure there are the right number of commas in the sentence.
