Read the sentence:

Mexico City the capital is also the cultural center of the country.

Which answer shows proper comma usage?

A. Mexico City the capital is also the cultural center, of the country.
B. Mexico City, the capital, is also the cultural center of the country.
C. Mexico City the capital is, also the cultural center of the country.
D. Mexico City the capital, is also the cultural center, of the country.

I would say that the following sounds correct:
Mexico City, the capital, is also the cultural center of the country
Mexico City is the noun clause and **the capital **is the appositive (restates the noun clause). If you read it out loud the pauses that you have in this sentence makes sense. Hopefully this helps. If not please let me know and I'll try to explain it better. :)

The answer to the question about comma usage is B: 'Mexico City, the capital, is also the cultural center of the country.' This option uses commas properly to set off a nonessential appositive. Understanding appositives helps in using commas effectively in sentences.
