Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

The words in the sentence that make up the appositive phrase are "beautiful antigue instruments" and the word that it renames is "guitars" (D).

Explanation:

An appositive phrase is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. Nonessential appositive phrases are always separated from the rest of the sentence with commas because the information they provide is not considered necessary to complete the meaning of the sentence. If dropped, the meaning of the sentence would be left unchanged (see 1).

1) My friend's brothers showed me their guitars.

Answer 2

Answer: "Beautiful antique instruments" is the appositive phrase. It renames "guitars".

Answers

Answer:

1. Genealogical research in Britain and Ireland is relatively easy; records are well kept and accessible.

2. I know exactly where to start my research: the library.

Explanation:

1. The semicolon is properly used in the right option to join two independent clauses closely related in meaning. In the first and last options, a semicolon is used where a colon would have been correct. In the third option, the adverb clause "if the records..." should be separated from the main sentence with a comma, not a semicolon.

2. In the right option, a colon is properly used to introduce a sentence or phrase that illustrates or complements the previous. Semicolons are wrongly used in the first and last options, needlessly setting off a complement, while in the third option, a semicolon (not a colon) should be used to join the two independent clauses.
