Answer

Brief Explanations:

An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. In each case, we identify the noun in the second sentence that can be an appositive for the noun in the first sentence.

  1. For the first pair, "a live oak" renames "That tree".
  2. In the second pair, "My Life" renames "that movie".
  3. For the third pair, "a bank teller" renames "My father".
  4. In the fourth pair, "Mariah's mother" renames "Jeannette".
  5. For the fifth pair, "Dave's youngest daughter" renames "Emily".

Answer:

  1. That tree, a live oak, got hit by lightning.
  2. The name of that movie, My Life, I have seen a hundred times.
  3. My father, a bank teller, always has Sunday off.
  4. Jeannette, Mariah's mother, plays chess.
