I'm going to go with option B, "A snowstorm, a serious one, occurred two days ago." It correctly uses the appositive by setting off the additional information about the snowstorm with commas. And let me tell you, that was one serious snowstorm!

The sentence that uses the appositive correctly is:

A snowstorm, a serious one, occurred two days ago.

The sentence that uses the appositive correctly is: "A snowstorm, a serious one, occurred two days ago."

To identify the correct sentence, we need to understand what an appositive is. An appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that renames or gives additional information about another noun right beside it. It is usually set off by commas.

In option A, the appositive "a serious one" is correctly placed between commas, which means it is giving additional information about the noun "snowstorm."

In option B, "Harold" is the appositive, and it is correctly set off by commas, giving additional information about the noun "uncle."

In option C, "Chariots of Fire" is the appositive, and it is correctly set off by commas, providing additional information about the noun "movie."

In option D, there is no appositive present.

Therefore, the correct sentence that uses the appositive correctly is: "A snowstorm, a serious one, occurred two days ago."

However, if "Uncle Harold" is his designation, I would go with the other choice.
