my mother, a kind, hardworking woman, played the piano and encouraged us to keep music in our lives. which terms describe the underlined portion of the sentence? check all that apply. appositive clause phrase nonrestrictive restrictive

Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Appositive: "a kind, hard - working woman" renames "My mother", which is the function of an appositive.
  2. Phrase: It is a group of words without a subject - verb combination, so it's a phrase.
  3. Non - restrictive: It can be removed without changing the essential meaning of the sentence, so it's non - restrictive. It doesn't limit the identity of "My mother" but just adds extra information.

Answer:

appositive, phrase, nonrestrictive
