We must remove the subject and verb of one clause and place it between commas to combine the sentences so that they each have an appositive

  • Anna, a great actress, got the lead role in the play.
  • The United Nations, an influential international organization, is based in New York City.
  • Bridget and Connor, geologists, work at the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois.

What is an appositive?

An appositive is basically a noun, noun phrase or pronoun whose purpose is to provide more information about another noun or noun phrase in the sentence.

In order to transform clauses into appositives, we must drop the subject and the verb from them. Let's use clauses from the question to see how we can do that:

  • Anna got the lead role in the play.
  • Anna is a great actress.

Both clauses are about Anna, which means we can eliminate the repetition by dropping "Anna is" from the second clause. Then, we place what is left between commas after "Anna" in the first clause:

  • Anna, a great actress, got the lead role in the play.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answers given above are correct.
