A. The college cafeteria
B. which is free for all full-time faculty
C. is a popular and safe environment
D. for students to study.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. which is free for all full-time faculty.

Nonrestrictive clauses are often found separated from the rest of the sentence using commas, as is the case here. It means that that clause is not essential for the meaning of the entire sentences, and can thus be deleted without the loss of the meaning.
