What type of punctuation is necessary to set apart nonessential appositive phrases?

English

Talja [164]3 years ago

commas, dashes, or parentheses


Nonessential appositive phrases can be separated from the rest of a sentence in three ways—with commas, with dashes, or with parentheses. Let’s look at example sentences that essentially mean the same thing:


The best pet in the world, a dog, will always be known as “man’s best friend.”

The best pet in the world—a dog—will always be known as “man’s best friend.”

The best pet in the world (a dog) will always be known as “man’s best friend.”

An appositive phrase is a noun or a noun phrase that renames, identifies or gives further information of another noun right beside it. Now, this type of phrase can be either restrictive or nonrestrictive (when it's not essential to the sentence, and therefore should be set off with a type of punctuation).

The type of punctuation used in nonessential or nonrestrictive appositive phrases are <u>commas, dashes or brackets</u>. Here are some examples:

<em>Mariana -that girl with the red jacket- is not from here.</em>

<em>My cat, Tigor, does not eat fish.</em>

<em>I need to clean up those shoes (The ones with the red bow).</em>

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

It affected them deeply. It sounds as if they worked too long hours and they were not performing their best because they were so worn out. If workers are not cared for they be pink in the face and weary. They could develop a fever which could possibly get everyone in the facility sick. The work conditions are horrible the works might feel horrible. You cannot hand someone peanut butter and jelly and ask them to make a feast. In the same way poor facility conditions will bring burnt out weary and possibly sickly workers.

Which sentence has an adverbial phrase?
djyliett [7]
I would go with C! The gas station near our house stays open late. Adverbial phrases pretty much focus on Why, When, How, and Where.
In that sentence it shows me the WHEN, and WHERE. I hope all is well, and you pass! (: Good luck, rockstar! (:

GIVING BRAINLIEST TO FIRST GOOD ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION GIVE ME LIBERTY The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia THOMAS J. W
torisob [31]

Answer:

Answer C:

While the colony commanders were generally optimistic, as their task was to send the settler groups and hope for the best, the settlers had many other issues.

Despite the beauty and abundance of this new land, its wild and unknown aspects (hostile natives, new diseases, wild beasts) inspired both hope and fear to the settlers.

And the excerpt, from the begging, explores these feelings making the questions that the settlers might have asked themselves when entering Virginia.
