Question

Which kind of phrase are the underlined words in the sentence? Shel Silverstein, a popular author of children's books, was born in Chicago.



A.
appositive phrase


B.
adverb phrase

adjective phrase

Answer 1

You have to tell us which words are underlined, but I have a feeling the words were "a popular author of children's books." which is an appositive. Author is the same thing as Shel Silverstein.
