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.

What does " Because my dreams are bursting at the seams" mean in literal meaning
Contact [7]

Answer:

It means that he dreamt so much that the fantasies he dreamt of could no longer be held in- they were becoming realities.

Explanation:

To burst at the seams means is an idiomatic expression that means, to overflow. When the song composer of <em>Fireflies,</em> Adam Young stated that his dreams were bursting at the seams, he meant that there was a lot of things he dreamt of. These dreams were overflowing or becoming so much that they could not remain as just dreams. They were now translating into realities.

This can be further seen in the lyrics that 'he saved a few and kept them in a jar'. This means that some of his dreams that he wished to become true were etched into his memory.
