Cause and Effect in The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone

Question 20 • SS-English Language Arts 7

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?

Answer
A
to tell what is faster
B
to describe the bike
C
to clarify which bike

Explanation

The appositive is “a flashy yellow ten-speed.” It renames and describes Justin’s bike, so it is nonessential; the sentence still makes sense without it. Its purpose is to describe the bike, which matches choice B.
