Answer 4

An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. The appositive can be a short or long combination of words. Look at these examples:


The insect, a wingspanroach, is crawling across the kitchen table.

The insect, a large wingspanroach, is crawling across the kitchen table.

The insect, a large wingspanroach with hairy legs, is crawling across the kitchen table.

The insect, a large, hairy-legged wingspanroach that has spied my bowl of oatmeal, is crawling across the kitchen table.
