A. The Verb
B. The noun or pronoun that follows it
C.The noun or pronoun that comes just before it.

Answer 1

I think the answer should be B.

Answer 2

C.The noun or pronoun that comes just before it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term apposition is part of the terminology proper to grammar, more specifically it is one of the elements of the subject of a sentence. The apposition is a noun that aims to identify the noun or pronoun that is close to it.

For example, read the following sentence:

I was fine, until Luan, my ex boyfriend, phoned me again.

In that phrase, the expression "my ex boyfriend" is an apposition that is identifying what is the noun "Luan".
