The answer to your question would be that the word or phrase that is an appositive in the sentence is the following one: An international competition.

An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. Nonessential appositives are always separated from the rest of the sentence with commas. In this case, the appositive phrase renames the NP "the olympic games".

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. She was a small woman, short and straight-waisted like a child in her brown cott
lisabon 2012 [21]

         The excerpt uses explicit details in the following way: it provides a <u>physical description</u> of Sarah Penn (small woman, short waist, gray hair, mild forehead, downward lines about her nose and mouth). All of it is explicit, since there is no room for interpretation, it is what it is. In other words, such details are concrete ones, since they are physical and nothing else.

         As for implicit details, we can find them in a figure of speech (a <u>hypallage</u>, which uses an adjective or participle to describe a noun other than the person or thing it is in fact describing): we learn Sarah Penn's forehead was benevolent, that is, it showed her benevolence (an implicit detail, since it was Sarah, and not her forehead, that was benevolent). It is a trait which implicitly tells something about the character's personality. There is also the description of <u>meek downward lines</u> about her nose and mouth. Again, a hypallage which implicitly tells us something about the character: it is Sarah who is gentle and humble, and not the lines about her nose and mouth.
