Identify the function of the italicized noun clause. Cousin Jake's goal, that he run the mile in less than four minutes, will require intense discipline and training to be achieveable. subject direct object predicate noun object of a preposition appositive

Answer 1

The answer is appositive

Answer 2

Italicized clause: that he run the mile in less than four minutes.

Answer:

Appositive

Step-by-step explanation:

The noun clause “that he run the mile in less than four minutes” is an appositive because it gives us further information about another noun placed right beside it: “goal.” Besides, it is a nonrestrictive appositive because its information is not essential to the meaning of the sentence (without it, the sentence would still make sense).
