Read this sentence, and then answer the question. The telescope, which we ordered in June, was shipped by the manufacturer, a Canadian company, so that it arrived before the start of the school year.

Which words in the sentence make up an appositive phrase?

a. which we ordered in June.
b. the manufacturer
c. a Canadian company.

c. a Canadian company.

Explanation:

appositive = noun/noun phrase that modifies another noun.

in this sentence, option c. modifies the manufacturer. it gives extra information on the noun.

where is the sentence at?

the correct answer is option d. none of these. it is noted that options a, b, and c share the same content.

despite the valid answer provided at the last sentence of each of the options, a question/answer format shouldn't include humourous themed responses such as "you bet your thermal pj's we do." - unless of course, the answer is carried out in an informal environment. this could be replaced with a simple "yes" or "it is necessary".

the question should be re-phrased to a more appropiate syntaxis. instead of "do we need the greenhouse effect? ", it should be written as "is the greenhouse effect necessary? " in order to give it a general scope, instead of limiting the answer to the needs of "we" the humans.
