The sentences that contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers are:

  1. My brother, John, is my favorite of all my brothers.
  2. My oldest sister, Maria, is a pilot.
  3. My two best friends, Tory and Monica, met me at the movies.
  4. Bulldogs, which I love, are the cutest!

The sentence "The book, Robinson Crusoe, is a classic." is not correctly punctuated, as "Robinson Crusoe" is essential to the sentence and should not be set off by commas.
