Please don't give direct answers out, whether you are explaining it to them or not. They are here to get help, not the answers to their test or homework. You may explain the answers to them but at least them make a small effort in getting the answer. Thank you. Have a good day.

Answer 12

so "the violinist" is actually an appositive phrase, or an extra, which means it doesn't need to be there for the sentence makes sense. Since you already know that the person's name is Sharon Day, you don't need to know that she's a violinist in order to know who she is. When there's phrases like this, you offset them with commas. For example- My brother, the soccer player, is really annoying. Hope that helps.
