Which sentence uses a restrictive appositive correctly?

English

The sentence that uses a restrictive appositive correctly is "Her niece Shirelle was the oldest daughter of her sister," as stated in option 1 and seen below.

<h3>What is a restrictive appositive?</h3>

A restrictive appositive is a word or phrase that renames another word in the sentence in a way that is essential for the sentence to be understood. Restrictive appositives are not set off by commas. With this knowledge, we can already eliminate options B and D.

We are left with options A and C. In both, we have restrictive appositives but one of them is wrong. The incorrect option is C. There is no need to make "Henry" a restrictive appositive. It is unlikely that Mrs. Whitaker has another late husband.

On the other hand, we know that someone's sister has at least two daughters. So it is essential to make it clear that the one they are talking about is "Shirelle". Therefore, the use of a restrictive appositive here makes perfect sense.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.

Debora [2.8K]
In the sestet, William Wordsworth addresses the octet (Where the problem has been stated) with a response that he'd rather exercise paganism because in that way he might feel less in gloomy about humanity's disrespect and loss of oneness with nature because he feels a sense of shared connection with nature again.

I don't know what book that is but based purely off the excerpt, I assume that Edna is beginning to realize that she wants to be more independent and to isolate herself. She wants to make decisions for herself.
Hope that helped! Again I haven't even heard of that book so sorry if it's not 100%!
