Select the appositive or appositive phrase.

The American delegation to the 1915 International Congress of Women included socail activist Jane Addams. Addams, famous for her work with immigrants at Chicago's Hull House, was also well known for her work on women's rights.

Answer:

"famous for her work with immigrants at Chicago's Hull House" is the appositive

Step-by-step explanation:

An appositive phrase adds information to a sentence. You know it is the appositive when you can remove it, and the rest of the sentence still makes sense. What you have left is, "Addams was also well known for her work on women's rights." Also, appositives are set apart from the rest of the sentence with commas.
