Answer:

The correct answer is option A. constellation.

Explanation:

An apositive is a noun or nominal phrase positioned next to another noun, <u>which changes its name or describes it in a different way. </u>

It can be a simple word or some longer phrase.

In general, the information provided by an apositive could be deleted without affecting the meaning.

In this case, one could say<em> "Sagittarius is near the Galactic Center of the Milky Way."</em> without using the word <em>constellation </em>and the sentence would still mean the same.

Answer:

The correct answer is Constellation.

Explanation:

Appositives have to do with those words that come together or one is close to the other in which one is renaming the other. The appositive in this particular sentence is Sagittarius and the word that is near to rename it is the word Constellation.

Bess [88]

Mustufa ran the 100-meter and 200-meter races (but the one he had trained for the hardest was the 400-meter competition).

This is the only answer that is grammatically correct. Parentheses cannot just be place anywhere in a sentence. They are used to add extra information for clarity or information that is an aside). An aside is something that is not the main part of the discussion. In this sentence, the main point is that Mustufa ran the sprint races. The extra information is that he trained for the mid-distance race.
