Answer 3

Remember that an appositive phrase is a phrase that renames the noun. So in reading each of these sentences you need to figure out if the phrase is essential to naming the noun. If the phrase is not essential you can pull it out of the sentence by adding commas.

To do this you should read the sentence but leave out the appositive phrase. For example:

Edward P. Weston … lived in New England in 1860.

Was “a long-distance walker” essential in order for this sentence to make sense?
