which phrase in this sentence is an appositive phrase?
\the online abbreviation imo—in my opinion—is overused,\ said roberta.
a. online abbreviation
b. in my opinion
c. is overused

Explanation:

An appositive phrase renames or explains a noun/pronoun. In the sentence, “in my opinion” renames the abbreviation “IMO” (which stands for “in my opinion”). Option A is an adjective phrase, C is a verb phrase, D is a reporting clause. So B is the appositive phrase.

B. in my opinion
