Explanation:
An appositive is a noun or pronoun set beside another noun or pronoun to explain or identify it. When the appositive is used with words that modify it, we get an appositive phrase.
An appositive phrase usually follows the word it refers to. It's often framed by commas, except when it's considered to be an essential part of the sentence.
Here are some examples:
- <em>Niagara Falls</em><em>, </em><em><u>the natural wonder in New York</u></em><em>, is not the tallest in the country</em>. - the underlined part is an appositive, and the part written in bold letters is the part of the sentence the appositive explains. As we can see, the appositive explains what Niagara Falls are.
- <em>My </em><em>brother </em><em><u>Jim </u></em><em>lives in Kansas.</em> - names preceded by words that describe their <em>status/title</em> are usually appositions. In cases such as this one, they are considered essential, which is why they are not framed by commas.

And dive off in my grave like the old swimmin'-hole.
These lines from the poem illustrate that the speaker
A. wants to prevent his approaching death
B. has become sad, but finds comfort in old age
C. needs to visit the swimming hole again
D. has grown so sad that death would be a relief
Answer:
The lines from the poem illustrate that the speaker:
D. has grown so sad that death would be a relief
Explanation:
The excerpt we are analyzing here was taken from the poem "The Old Swimmin' Hole" by James Whitcomb Riley. The speaker talks of [his] sorrow," and of wanting to strip his soul. We can infer he is deeply sad, to the point of wishing for something drastic. After stripping his soul, he wants to "dive off in [his] grave," meaning he would like to die. Connecting both parts, we can tell that his sadness has become so extreme that he would rather die than feel it. For that reason, the best option is letter D. has grown so sad that death would be a relief.
