I don't understand. Do you think it's A?

Well let's think about this for a second. What is Dr. Brochin? Is it an adverb, an appositive (noun), or an adjective?

Yes.

OpenStudy (bohotness):

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

An adjective describes a noun. If you were to eliminate the part "is busiest," would this sentence make sense?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

? no

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

So then it's not an adjective phrase.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Which leaves...?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

a andc

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

...Well we already kind of eliminated A since "around noon" clearly isn't a noun.

OpenStudy (bohotness):

ii meant b or c

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

...We just eliminated B

OpenStudy (bohotness):

so that leaves us c

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Yes

OpenStudy (bohotness):

can you help me again plaese?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

an appositive renames the subject...pediatrician is the subject...Dr. Brochin - noun renaming the subject

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Sure

OpenStudy (bohotness):

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

So why do you think it would be a participle?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

my edatued geuss-

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

How is it educated though? What led you to believe that it is a participle?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

well no

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

read this.. http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/infinitive.htm

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

A participle is simply a verb. An infinitive usually starts with "to"

OpenStudy (bohotness):

well no

OpenStudy (bohotness):
