The correct answer is - Coincidentally, my oldest sibling, Nate, just turned nineteen.
It is quite easy to spot a subject - just ask the question who. Who just turned nineteen? - My oldest sibling.
The first option is incorrect because the phrase is used as an indirect object. C is incorrect because my brother Nate is the subject, and my oldest sibling is the appositive. D is incorrect because Nate is the subject, and my oldest sibling is predicate nominative.

The answer is "Coincidentally, my oldest sibling, Nate, just turned nineteen."

Why? Well, if we look at A: "I" or the speaker in question is the subject talking about and or completing an action.

C: "My brother Nate" is already the subject, because Nate is the first person being spoken about.

Meanwhile in B: "Nate" Is not the subject, Nate is the name that describes, or specifies who the subject is.

So you got older sibling(Subject). Who is your older sibling? Nate,

The road to the mountains was a ribbon of moonlight.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: B) Metaphor

Explanation: A metaphor can be simply defined as a figure of speech that compares actions or words that are not literally related but might share similar characteristics. It gives a hidden meaning or representation.

"The road to the mountains was a ribbon of moonlight",

The "road" and the "ribbons of moonlight" are literally unrelated because roads are neither ribbons nor ribbons of moonlight.

"Ribbons of moonlight" is only meant to give a hidden meaning or representation of the characteristic or nature of the road to the mountains.

So "Ribbons of moonlight" is a metaphor.

I saw three kids sitting on the porch across the street. where does the comma go
Butoxors [25]
Hey there! Hello!

I believe the comma should go here:

<span>"I saw three kids sitting on the porch, across the street."

"Across the street" is a sentence fragment. These are typically separated from the rest of the sentence with a comma. Sentence fragments may seem like sentences, but you couldn't make it it's own sentence, since it doesn't contain a verb. A sentence must have a verb and a subject in order to be considered valid, and in the case of fragments, they're purely there to add more to the current sentence. 

I hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you have any. :-)</span>
