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 gives another name and extra description for Justin’s bike. The sentence would still identify the bike as Justin’s if this phrase were removed, so the appositive is nonessential. Its purpose is to add descriptive information about the bike.
