The author is using a type of figurative language called personification. Personification is when you give human characteristics or traits to something that is non human. When the author writes, "<span>the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows." the author is giving the sea human characteristics. The sea does not actually have lips.</span>

Highlight all the words that make up the appositive phrase.
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Before the parade, my friend <u>Baby Luigi </u>practiced his baton twirls.

Explanation:

An appositive is a noun or noun phrase placed next to another noun in order to explain or identify it. It's usually found after the noun it refers to, although it doesn't have to be. Depending on how essential it is, it can be framed by commas.

When the noun being explained is too general without the appositive, the appositive is considered essential to the meaning of the sentence. In this case, we shouldn't frame it by commas.

This is the case in the given sentence. The phrase<em> Baby Luigi </em>is the appositive that identifies the speaker's friend. If we left out that phrase, the sentence would be too vague.
