This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Laura, Lisa, and Lynn, triplet sisters, were all chosen as camp counselors.
Identify the appositive or appositive phrase in the sentence, and the word or words it renames.
A. Lynn; renames "triplet sisters"
B. triplet sisters; renames "Laura, Lisa, and Lynn"
C. all; renames "Laura, Lisa, and Lynn"
D. camp counselors; renames "Laura, Lisa, and Lynn"
Answer:
The answer that identifies the appositive phrase and the words it renames is:
B. triplet sisters; renames "Laura, Lisa, and Lynn"
Step-by-step explanation:
An appositive is a word or phrase immediately following and renaming another word or phrase. That means an appositive explains - it offers extra information about another word or phrase. In the sentence we are analyzing here, the appositive is "triplet sisters". This phrase is used to rename "Laura, Lisa, and Lynn." It explains who they are.
