Suggested correct comma usage:

—

1. Snow White, whose hair was raven black, is the fairest in all the land.
2. It up to you, Jane, to finish this work.
3. No commas necessary because the sentence’s meaning will change.
4. The average world temperature, however, has continued to rise significantly.

Did you use the basket trick and lift the sections with commas out of the sentence?

I’m wondering if a different point of view might help this thorny comma issue?

Commas and essential elements next :).
