Which of the following is punctuated correctly?
Choices are:

B. President Roosevelt described December 7, 1941 as a date, which will live in infamy.
C. President Roosevelt described December 7, 1941, as a date which will live in infamy.
I think it is A.
I disagree.
what do you think it is?
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the punctuation in each option:
A. President Roosevelt described December 7, 1941 as a date which will live in infamy.
- In this option, there is a comma after "December 7, 1941," which is correct because it sets off the year as additional information.
B. President Roosevelt described December 7, 1941 as a date, which will live in infamy.
- In this option, there is a comma after "date," which creates a separation that disrupts the sentence flow. This punctuation is not necessary.
C. President Roosevelt described December 7, 1941, as a date which will live in infamy.
- In this option, there is a comma after "1941," which is incorrect because it is unnecessary and disrupts the sentence flow.
Based on the analysis, option A is the correct choice because it uses the comma appropriately to set off the year as additional information. So, your initial thought is correct, and the answer is indeed A.
