a. the excitement and relief immigrants felt upon arriving in america
I would think it is to communicate Jen’s anxiety because she seems scared and she’s talking in short sentences like she is trying to gather her thoughts because she’s nervous.
I believe that the word 'her' has been used as a pronoun and an adjective. In 'her heel', it is describing the 'heel'.
So the answer is (C) adjective.
Answer: appositive
Explanation:
An appositive is a noun phrase whereby one noun or in some other cases a pronoun is used, then there'll be another word that'll be used to clarify the noun or pronoun.
In thus case, the noun is "Dr. Benton Jones" while "a winner of the Nobel Prize for his chemistry theories" is clarifying Dr Benton Jones.
Therefore, this is an example of appositive.
