Question

LAST QUESTION I PROMISE! :)

Which of the following contains an appositive fragment?

A. There's Jack. The most talented pianist I know.
B. I was late for the party. Which really annoyed everybody, apparently.
C. The aunt had to buy a whole bag of straws. For the niece to drink a cup of water.
D. Waiting for the sunrise. You really feel an appreciation for the beauty of nature.

Answer 1

Waiting for the sunrise. You really feel an appreciation for the beauty of nature.

Answer 2

A: The most talented pianist I know.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fragment is not a main clause because it lacks one of the elements that have to be present: a subject, a verb, or a complete thought. In the case of the option A, we have the main clause "There's Jack" and the appositive fragment "The most talented pianist I know." The correct use of this appositive is to place a comma after the noun Jack, then write the fragment, which has the purpose of describing the noun.
