Answer:
The nominative absolute Comma.
Explanation:
A comma may be used after a nominative absolute in a sentence. A nominative absolute is usually a noun phrase (a phrase functioning as a noun) or a participial phrase (a phrase including a past or present participle).
One way to identify a nominative absolute is to add a conjunction and a verb: one can often (though not always) create a subordinate clause out of a nominative absolute by adding subordinating conjunction (such as "because" or "when") and a form of the verb to be.
