Answer

The corrected sentence should read: "Yo-Yo Ma, who was born in Paris, is a Chinese American cellist." Explanation The error lies in sentence (1), which incorrectly uses a nonrestrictive clause. The phrase "who was born in Paris" is essential to understanding Yo-Yo Ma's identity, thus it should be restrictive rather than nonrestrictive.
