Question

Which words in the sentence makes up the appositive phrase? Which words does it rename?

The dog crossed the street, the cute beagle with floppy ears, likes to howl loudly.

A. The cute beagle with floppy ears; renames dog
B. Across the street; renames howl
C. With floppy ears; renames beagle
D. Like to howl loudly; renames beagle

Answer 1

@Vocaloid I think that the answer should be C

Answer 2

hm, not quite...
'the cute beagle with floppy ears' can rename dog, but "with floppy ears" doesn't rename "beagle"

an appositive phrase should be able to replace the word it modifies
another way to tell what the appositive phrase is is that the sentence would still make sense without it

Answer 3

So the answer should be A

Answer 4

right

Answer 5
