Answer:

The answer is indeed letter A) The cat, which is a Calico, sits in the window all day.

Explanation:

An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that is placed beside another noun or noun phrase with the intention of renaming it. In other words, the appositive gives further information about the noun or phrase it changes. Appositives are usually set off by commas, unless they are restrictive.

A relative pronoun is a word that substitutes a noun and introduces a relative clause - a relative clause has the purpose of modifying a noun. The most common relative pronouns are which, who, that, and whom.

The option that has both, an appositive and a relative pronoun, is letter A. The relative pronoun "which" is substituting the noun "cat". The clause "which is a Calico" is renaming the noun "cat".

It is A because it restates the noun, CAT, with a different name, CALICO. It is also A because WHICH is a relative pronoun.

Which statement BEST describes the difference in how Melody and her coach view the base position? A. Melody and the coach both t

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

D. Melody thinks the base position is not important and that it is less valuable than flyer; her coach thinks the base position supports the whole team.

Explanation:

Throughout the story, its obvious to see Melody's frustration that she can't fly in the air and that she feels that the base positions is pointless. To support my answer, here are some quotes from the passage that evidently shows that she wasn't pleased with the results that came to her.

Melody:

"Well, Melody was definitely not laughing with her. Was this some sort of mean joke to keep Melody from getting the attention she deserved as a flyer?"

"Melody had not been in a cheerful spirit since her coach listed the line–up for the stunting routine for the competition."

"Melody could not understand why her coach had dismissed her from the position when she knew that she could handle the pressure of the competition."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is some evidence to support my answer that the coach thinks the base position is quite prominent to the whole team.

The Coach

"I am very proud of you for taking on the new base position for this competition. I hope you realized the importance of being the base because it is the foundation that holds the entire stunt group together. You are definitely a star Melody, so do not ever worry about that. I appreciate you stepping out of the spotlight to let someone else have her moment to shine. You are a true star in my eyes."

"After practice, the cheer coach pulled Melody aside and congratulated her on her efforts in the base team. "I always know I can count on you, Melody. We may have to reassign your stunt position full time. This might be your new calling," she laughed."

I hoped this helped a lot!
