Explanation:

Punctuating Sentences Correctly

Let's examine the sentences you've provided in order to determine which are punctuated correctly:

  1. The roses that I planted in my garden have not yet bloomed.
  2. The winning dog which is a collie completed the course in only twelve seconds.
  3. My friend Ray a figure skater would like to learn to play chess.
  4. Javier made a sculpture out of seashells, that he found on the beach.

Among these sentences, the first sentence is correct because it appropriately uses the phrase "that I planted in my garden" to specify which roses and does not require additional punctuation. The fourth example is also correct, as it uses a comma to separate the main clause from the non-restrictive clause "that he found on the beach." The second sentence lacks commas that should surround the non-restrictive clause "which is a collie." The third sentence is missing a comma after "Ray" to separate the appositive, "a figure skater." Therefore, the two correctly punctuated sentences are the first and the fourth.
