Answer:

1. Comma

2. Dashes

3. Parenthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Restrictive elements can be set off with the use of certain punctuation so they can be removed without altering the original meaning of the sentence.

For this, commas, dashes and parenthesis can be used. For example:

- John invited his family, and a few close friends, over his birthday dinner.

Here, you can also use dashes or parenthesis to separate the sentences.
