Question

Identify the appositive or appositive phrase in the sentence by putting it in brackets

Answer 1

Answer:

1.  (a home run)

2. (the plants by the hill side)

Explanation:

An appositive or appositive phrase serves the function of replacing the noun in a sentence. It provides more information about the noun and can be found at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence. Without the appositive, the meaning of the sentence will still be retained.

In the first sentence, the appositive, provides more information about the game winning hit. It was a home run. In the second sentence, the plants by the hill side offers further description of where the rose bush was situated.
