Which kind of phrase are the underlined words in the sentence? Mr. Gonzalez bought a gas station near the highway, a favorable location. A. appositive phrase B. adverb phrase C. adjective phrase

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

What is the underlined word?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it's "a favorable location," I'd go with appositive, as it's not really necessary to say that. Just more information

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a favorable location.

OpenStudy (bishoppatton):

Appositive Location, and wait for her to say which one is underlined so other people can answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not here to compete with people or anything. I'm here to give her the correct answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or at least try to

OpenStudy (bishoppatton):

I know and i am not either... but other people cant earn medals when you are giving out the answer before people even get the question.

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

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. Do you think it actually is appositive?

OpenStudy (bishoppatton):

A wingspanroach would be the Appositive Phrase lol

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

mmhm. it wont let you say the c word. in c-roach. lol. I gave an example of an appositive phrase.

OpenStudy (bishoppatton):

wingspanroach

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It can also add to a subject. Since we're stealing things that pop up on Google, Kate, "Joe, a gourmet, likes good meatballs." is an appositive. Joe isn't a noun, but rather the subject.

OpenStudy (bishoppatton):

HAHAHAHA.... i just noticed that lol

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

Hahah. yeah. And Zedd, you're right! I gotcha now.

OpenStudy (bishoppatton):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Had me worried for a second there like "Omg have I been messing her up this whole time?!"

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

Lol, I was thinking adjective because of "favorable" but its appositive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see how that can be confusing lol
