After reading the original sentence, we can select the following option when it comes to how the writer should punctuate the nonrestrictive clause to emphasize it:

D) My brother—who is a superb actor—will audition tomorrow for a film role.

What is a nonrestrictive clause?

  • A nonrestrictive clause is a type of relative clause that provides nonessential information about a noun in a sentence. Being a relative clause, it begins with a relative pronoun (who, which, etc.).
  • Nonrestrictive clauses should always be set off by commas. For example: Jane, who is our best employee, has finally decided to have a baby.
  • However, if a writer wishes to give the nonrestrictive clause some more emphasis, the best way to do it is by using dashes. For example: Jane - who is our best employee - has finally decided to have a baby.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter D as the best option.
