Answer:

The sentence that contains an appositive phrase is B. The safari stopped at an oasis, a moist, fertile spot in the desert.

Explanation:

An appositive noun -or noun phrase- provides further information about the noun or noun phrase in apposition to it to define it or identify it. It could also be used to rename the noun right beside it. As appositive nouns or noun phrases are often nonrestrictive, they are placed between commas or are preceded by a comma if they are at the end of the sentence, like in option B. The safari stopped at an oasis, a moist, fertile spot in the desert.

The correct answer is B (The safari stopped at an oasis, a moist, fertile spot in the desert) because an appositive can be a short or long combination of words that renames the noun.

Answer: snug as a gun

Explanation:

"The simile 'snug as a gun' is startling when it appears in the poem "Digging."
