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.

What defines “The Raven” as a poem rather than a work of short fiction?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The component that defines the work "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe as a poem, and not as a short work of fiction, is the resource of rhyme that is used constantly in the writing of the work. Thus, the author uses this resource at all times, both within the verses and between different verses, in such a way that the musicality of the writing is never lost; on the contrary, the careful use of words (and even the repetition of them) is aimed at keeping the rhythm of the poem from its beginning to its end.
