Question

Read the sentence. The glacier, a block of ice as long as a football field, moved slowly across the frozen tundra. Which phrase is an appositive in the sentence? a block of ice as long as a football field moved slowly across the frozen tundra The glacier

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: a block of ice as long as a football field.

Explanation:

Appositive is a noun or noun phrase that sits next to another noun and renames or describes it in another way.

In writing an appositive, you offset with a comma or dash.

In the sentence above, the phrase "a block of ice as long as a football field" is the appositive.

This is because it is renaming and describing the noun "glacier."
