Question

Which would be the best way to
combine the following sentences
using an appositive?
Nicole is the smartest girl in class.
She won the spelling bee.
A. Nicole won the spelling bee, the smartest girl
in class.
B. Nicole, the smartest girl in class, won the
spelling bee.
C. The smartest girl in class, won the spelling
bee, Nicole.

Answer 1

Choice b correctly uses an appositive.
remember, an appositive is a word/phrase that is used to describe the noun in more detail. it can be removed from the sentence, and the sentence would still make sense.
another example would be: Mrs. Smith, the beloved science teacher, was on the news last night.
