If Janice, my neighbor's sister, arrives, we will take her to the museum.
appositive
direct address
summary
two adjectives before a noun
parenthetical expression

Answer 1

what is the answer

Answer 2

In the sentence "If Janice, my neighbor's sister, arrives, we will take her to the museum," the comma is used to set off an appositive. An appositive is a word or phrase that renames or provides additional information about a noun. In this case, "my neighbor's sister" is an appositive that renames "Janice." The commas indicate that this extra information is not essential to the main point of the sentence; the sentence would still make sense if the appositive were removed.

Answer 3

The answer is **appositive**. The phrase "my neighbor's sister" is an appositive that provides additional information about "Janice."
