Question

Which sentence correctly punctuates an appositive?

Answer 1

A.  John and Jorge, the messiest eaters at the table, left food all over the place after dinner.

Explanation:

An appositive is usually a noun/pronoun that can replace or find out another noun/pronoun in someway or the other. An appositive phase can be of two types -

• Restrictive and

• Non restrictive.                    

An appositive phrase=An appositive+Modifiers.

So as to punctuate an appositive - after both the names there should a comma which then separates it from the description of the person (which is the messiest eaters at table) and again a comma which separates the description of the persons from the content.
