FINALLY, A QUESTION

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Well, do you know the definitions of those choices ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Appositive: An appositive is a noun, noun phrase, or series of nouns placed next to another word or phrase to identify or rename it. Direct Address: A direct address is the name of the person (normally) who is being directly spoken to. It is always a proper noun. It does not have any grammatical relationship to any part of the sentence. It is set off by commas. Parenthetical Expression: A parenthetical expression is an expression which is inserted into the flow of thought. It may be in the middle of a sentence or between sentences, but it does not deal directly with the topic at hand. Summary is just an explanation.

the answer is direct address because if you search it up in the dictionaty you get this... A direct address is the name of the person (normally) who is being directly spoken to. It is always a proper noun. It does not have any grammatical relationship to any part of the sentence. It is set off by commas. and the apposive is this... An appositive is a noun or pronoun that renames or identifies another noun or pronoun in some way. An appositive phrase consists of an appositive and its modifiers. Appositives can be either essential (restrictive) or nonessential (nonrestrictive). so it is direct address. hope this helps. :-)
