Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The sentence that contains an appositive phrase is sentence B.

Explanation:

An appositive phrase is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. Because the information provided by the appositive is nonessential as the meaning of the sentence does not depend on it, it is offset with commas. If you removed the appositive from the sentence, the meaning would be left unchanged (see 1).

1) The safari stopped at an oasis
Answer 2
Answer:


The answer is B.) The safari stopped at an oasis, a moist fertile spot in the desert.

The appositive phrase is a moist fertile spot in the desert. You can read the rest of the sentence without that part and still have a complete sentence. It describers oasis.
