The sentence here contains a participle that is correctly punctuated. We have the phrase hiding in the brush which is our participle, and it clearly defines what the leopard was doing. Its is properly punctuated as the comma was necessary before the words, the leopard or else it would become improperly punctuated.

Answer:

The sentence contains a participle correctly punctuated.

Explanation:

The sentence above contains a present participle phrase <em>hiding in the brush.</em> This participle phrase is present as it ends in -ing. Participle phrase often include objects and/or modifiers that complete the thought (the PP <em>in the brush</em>).

What is more, this participle phrase is correctly punctuated because it is separated from the rest of the sentence by means of a comma. Participle phrases always function as adjectives, adding description to the sentence. That is to say, the information they provide is not considered essential to complete the meaning of the sentence. This is why it is offset with a comma.

Answer:

Appositive Phrase

Explanation:

Appositive Phrase

An appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that renames the noun next to it. It serves the purpose of adding information about another noun. For example, consider the phrase "The boy raced ahead to the finish line. " Adding an appositive noun phrase could result in "The boy, an avid sprinter, raced ahead to the finish line."

The sentence is still complete without the appositive. However, adding the appositive (an avid sprinter) presents more information about the other noun (boy).
