The correct revision to sentence 4 that adds punctuation appropriately is:<br /><br />C. The four African American men, who were students at the Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina, then sat at the store's whites-only lunch counter and tried to order.<br /><br />This option correctly uses commas to set off the non-essential clause "who were students at the Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina," providing additional information about the men without disrupting the main flow of the sentence.
