Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the sentence structure.
The sentence talks about jewelry and its usage across different classes, and we need to choose the grammatically correct revision.

Step 2: Analyzing the options.
- (A) This option does not have proper punctuation, making it a bit unclear.
- (B) This option correctly uses commas for clarification and keeps the subject singular (jewelry).
- (C) The verb "are" does not agree with the singular subject "jewelry."
- (D) The verb "accessorized" is awkward here and not fitting with the intended meaning.

Step 3: Conclusion.
Option (B) is correct because it properly uses commas and maintains subject-verb agreement.
