Which words in the sentence make up the appositive phrase?
"There is a great deal of fiber in Dad's favorite treat, buttered popcorn with salt."
A. of fiber
B. with salt
C. in Dad's favorite treat
D. buttered popcorn with salt
Answer (2)
The answer is D, because there are two nouns put together, while another before it is identifying it.
The appositive phrase in the sentence is 'buttered popcorn with salt,' which renames Dad's favorite treat. Other options provided do not function as appositives as they do not rename a noun. Appositives help clarify or provide more information about a noun in a sentence.
