Refer to the sentence and then use the drop-down menus to answer the questions. | Justin's bike, a flashy yellow ten-speed, is faster than mine. | What is the appositive in the sentence? | Is the appositive essential or nonessential? | What is the purpose of the appositive?

The appositive is “a flashy yellow ten-speed,” which renames Justin’s bike. It is nonessential because the sentence still makes sense without that extra description: “Justin’s bike is faster than mine.” Its purpose is to describe Justin’s bike.
