Answer 1

An appositive is a phrase or a word that renames a noun right beside it. Among the choices listed, the best answer is option C. One cause of erosion, wind, can create alterations in the surface layers of rock. Erosion here renames wind.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is- option (B)

Explanation:

Apposition is generally defined as the connection between two or multiple words and phrases, where one of the elements helps in the identification of the other in a different way. For example, My friend Rohil, who works at Accenture, is a very talented person.

The above-given question is based on the opposition. This can be written as "Wind, being a cause of erosion, causes alteration in the surface layers of the rocks".

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
