Therefore, "triplet sisters" is renaming "Laura, Lisa, and Lynn."

Cindy Sherman, a popular photographer, just had a show at this gallery. D. The big winner at yesterday's game was Dan's team, the former underdogs.

OpenStudy (aveline):

Have any ideas? Can you eliminate any answers?

OpenStudy (dimamndheart15713):

D

OpenStudy (aveline):

D is a correctly-punctuated appositive, just like C.

OpenStudy (dimamndheart15713):

so both

OpenStudy (aveline):

You can eliminate both of those answers, since the question is asking "Which sentence contains an incorrectly punctuated appositive or appositive phrase?" Now you're between A and B. I'll give you a clue; one of them is not an appositive.

OpenStudy (dimamndheart15713):

B

OpenStudy (aveline):

Right, B is not an appositive phrase. A is the answer; it is missing a comma which is needed to make an appositive

OpenStudy (dimamndheart15713):

Which sentence contains an incorrectly punctuated appositive or appositive phrase? A. The guide, a graduate student, shared some interesting facts with the tourists. B. Did the artists Raphael and Michelangelo ever meet during their lifetimes? C. Our scout leader, Commander Moore, warned us about poison ivy. D. The neighbors a young couple just moved in next door.

OpenStudy (dimamndheart15713):

I think the answer is D

OpenStudy (aveline):

That's correct

OpenStudy (dimamndheart15713):

Yay!

Okay just 2 more questions

OpenStudy (dimamndheart15713):

Which kind of phrase are the underlined words in the sentence? She drew a simple sketch of the clay sculpture, a small dog. A. adjective phrase B. adverb phrase C. appositive phrase

OpenStudy (dimamndheart15713):

of the clay sculpture is underlined in that sentence

OpenStudy (aveline):

An adjective phrase is a group of words that describe a noun or pronoun in a sentence. Since "of the clay sculpture" describes the sketch, I think it would be an adjective phrase.

OpenStudy (dimamndheart15713):

last one

OpenStudy (aveline):

Kk

OpenStudy (dimamndheart15713):

10. Which kind of phrase are the underlined words in the sentence? At the beach, Gina and Brenda played volleyball. A. appositive phrase B. adverb phrase C. adjective phrase

OpenStudy (dimamndheart15713):

at the beach is underlined

OpenStudy (aveline):

An adverb phrase is simply two or more words that act as an adverb. It can modify a verb, adverb, or adjective and can tell “how”, “where”, “why”, or “when.” "At the beach" is describing where Gina and Brenda played, so it would be an adverb phrase.
