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.

Ira Lisetskai [31]
On this beautiful Saturday morning i decided to wake up to my alarm. Ever since Thursday i've been ignoring it and i didn't want it to be my third time ignoring it. I went outside to go pick some herbs and i saw a girl with a spear in her hand. She had blue eyes that sparkle when the sun hit them. she looked hurt. i went over to investigate. "hello! may i ask why you have a spear in your hand?" i asked. "oh hello, i actually just found it. i looked over and it was clear as day!" she said. "oh okay. would you like to come in for breakfast?" i asked. "i'd love to!" she exclaimed. we went inside and my cousin served us eggs. as we chatted, i learned she was an artist and a very interesting person. i would love to see her again some time!
