Answer 1

Apposition is a grammatical construction in which two elements, normally noun phrases are placed side by side, with one element serving to define or modify the other. When this device is used, the two elements are said to be in apposition. For example in the phrase "my friend Alice" the name "Alice" is in apposition to "my friend".
