Choose the sentence in which the appositive or appositive phrase is essential to the sentence and punctuated correctly. (1 point) Responses Prime Minister Winston Churchill was victorious. Prime Minister Winston Churchill was victorious. Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, was victorious.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill, was victorious.
The sentence in which the appositive or appositive phrase is essential to the sentence and punctuated correctly is:
Prime Minister Winston Churchill was victorious.
To determine the sentence in which the appositive or appositive phrase is essential to the sentence and punctuated correctly, we need to understand what an appositive is. An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames or provides additional information about another noun or noun phrase in the sentence.
Let's examine the options provided:
1. Responses Prime Minister Winston Churchill was victorious.
2. Prime Minister Winston Churchill was victorious.
3. Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, was victorious.
In option 1, "Responses" does not provide any additional information about "Prime Minister Winston Churchill" and seems to be unrelated to the rest of the sentence. Therefore, it is not an appositive or appositive phrase essential to the sentence.
In option 2, "Prime Minister Winston Churchill" is not set off by any punctuation and is essential to understanding who the sentence is referring to. This sentence is punctuated correctly, and the appositive is essential to the meaning of the sentence.
In option 3, "Winston Churchill" is set off by commas, which indicates that it is an appositive phrase providing additional information about "Prime Minister." The commas correctly punctuate the appositive phrase, and it is essential to the sentence.
Considering the above analysis, the correct choice is:
2. Prime Minister Winston Churchill was victorious.
