How is an appositive a form of context clue?

Question

a. It tells an opposite meaning of a noun in a sentence
b. It tells what an unfamiliar noun means
c. It gives an example of what a noun means in sentence
d. It offers a definition for a noun in a sentence

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

d. It offers a definition for a noun in a sentence.

An appositive provides additional information about a noun, often clarifying or defining it. For example, in the sentence "My brother, a skilled guitarist, is performing tonight," the appositive "a skilled guitarist" offers a definition by describing what the noun "brother" means in this context.
