Question

The task asks us to pick the word(s) that correctly complete the sentence: 'I have a few friends who will stay with me this month. My friend _____ is going to visit me next week.'
Option 1: 'who lives in Dallas' — This is the correct completion. It provides a restrictive relative clause (no commas) that specifies which friend is visiting: 'My friend who lives in Dallas is going to visit me next week.' The clause directly describes the friend in question and fits grammatically in the blank.
Option 2: 'lives in Dallas' — This version lacks the relative pronoun 'who,' so the sentence becomes ungrammatical: 'My friend lives in Dallas is going to visit me next week.' In English, a relative clause requires a relative pronoun to attach to the noun it describes; removing 'who' breaks the grammatical structure.
Option 3: ', who lives in Dallas,' — Here the phrase is set off by commas, implying a nonrestrictive (nonessential) clause: 'My friend, who lives in Dallas, is going to visit me next week.' While this structure can be grammatical in other contexts, the given sentence fragment 'My friend _____ is going to visit me next week' expects a restrictive clause without commas to identify which friend among possibly several. The presence of leading and trailing commas would create a mismatch between the fixed sentence frame and the clause, making this option unsuitable for the blank in this exact construction.
In summary, only the first option correctly fills the blank to produce a grammatically coherent and appropriately scoped sentence: the relative clause 'who lives in Dallas' directly modifies 'My friend' without additional punctuation.
