Hello. Your question is incomplete. The full question is:

In the sentence "Oliver Wendell Holmes, a contemporary of Ralph Waldo Emerson, was a doctor and a talented poet," the bold words are an example of a(n)

Answer:

Appositive phrase

Explanation:

An appositive phrase is characterized as a clause within a sentence whose main objective is to promote extra information, or to explain a previously stated term. This type of sentence is placed right after the term that is giving information and is separated from the rest of the sentence by two commas. In the sentence shown in the question above, we can see that the clause "a contemporary of Ralph Waldo Emerson" is an example of an appositive phrase. That's because in addition to being separated by commas, it provides information about "Wendell Holmes."

Their fate definitely would not have been the same today, as the judicial system nowadays is much more refined. They would have been tried, probably found guilty, and sentenced to prison. Both of them, in the play though, get a fair punishment for what they deserve. Macbeth has to see his wife die, which is an emotional moment for him that he deserves for putting Macduff through the same. Then, he has to discover in the middle of a battle that he thinks he cannot lose that the witches' prophecies might not have told him the whole story. Discovering that Macduff is not of woman born and can definitely kill him is a blow to his psyche that shakes and rattles him to the core, leading to his defeat. Being so mentally shaken and then beheaded is a pretty harsh punishment, even considering the crimes he committed. Lady Macbeth is tormented by her guilt and is driven to madness because of what she has done. This madness and death are also punishments that seem to fit the crimes she committed.
