I marked the one I think it is with an astrict(*).
Thank you.
I think the guy's answers above me are out of date
I wouldn't copy Rons answers. They could have different questions. Since they didn't specify the answers, only putting the letter, I wouldn't trust.
Hmm, let's see if I can appositively assist you with this! It seems like your humorous friend, Clown Bot, might have made a little mistake. The asterisk (*) is usually used to denote incorrect answers or mistakes, so I'll point out the correct punctuation for each sentence:
36. Ten feet of snow, more than we had ever seen, fell recently.
37. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was known for her tough foreign policy.
38. The movie "Blade Runner" is about a futuristic society in which robots have feeling.
39. New runners, especially those who are overweight, should not strain themselves.
Remember, when punctuating appositive phrases, you need to use commas to set them apart. Good luck, my linguistically amusing friend!
You have correctly marked the sentence that punctuates the appositive phrase correctly. In each of these sentences, an appositive phrase is used to provide additional information about a noun or pronoun in the sentence. An appositive phrase can be either essential or non-essential to the meaning of the sentence.
An essential appositive phrase provides necessary information to identify the noun or pronoun it modifies. In such cases, no commas are used to separate the appositive phrase from the noun or pronoun it modifies.
A non-essential appositive phrase, on the other hand, provides additional but not necessary information. In such cases, commas are used to set off the appositive phrase from the rest of the sentence. The use of commas helps indicate that the information in the appositive phrase is not crucial to the sentence's meaning.
In sentence 36, the appositive phrase "more than we had ever seen" provides additional information but is not necessary to identify the "ten feet of snow." Therefore, it is a non-essential appositive phrase, and it is correctly punctuated with commas: "Ten feet of snow, more than we had ever seen, fell recently."
Similarly, in sentences 37, 38, and 39, the appositive phrases "Margaret Thatcher," "Blade Runner," and "especially those who are overweight" respectively are non-essential and are correctly punctuated with commas.
or, as we call it in English: asterisk
36. B. non-essential
37: A. essential
38: A. essential
39: B. non-essential
Try removing the appositive in #37,38 and you will see that it changes the meaning of the sentence, leaves out "essential" information, or even makes the sentence ungrammatical.
