Read the sentence below and complete the instruction that follows. my advisor, mr. burns, is me apply for scholarships specific to students who major in astronomy, the study of the universe. identify the appositive phrase. astronomy mr. burns my advisor the study of the universe

The appositive phrase that is present in the sentence "My advisor, Mr. Burns, is helping me apply for scholarships specific to students who major in astronomy, the study of the universe" is "the study of the universe".

An appositive phrase includes an appositive, which can be a noun or a pronoun, and its modifiers. Furthermore, "the study of the universe" is an example of nonessential appositive phrase, which means that the phrase provides additional information about the noun that is modifying ("astronomy"). In other words, in this case, the appositive phrase is not necessary to identify the noun that precedes it. The phrase is only making the sentence more detailed.

first of all the mood needs to be defined: it is obviously a mood of deceitful relief and serenity. why? because the cape horn is one of the most violent maritime regions of earth and although it has been left behind, it is a personification of ahab’s delirium and the fact that the end of the passage speaks about it about being “hidden” but “raving” immediately conveys the feeling the calm is not permanent but fleeting.

furthermore, the oxymoron “mild stun'sails” is the first instance of such feeling as the adjective “mild” is associated with “stunned” underscoring the fleeting nature of this “tranquil” moment. and the contrasts keep piling up, with the opposition between “dark den” and “blessed light and air” to end with the final conclusion that leaves the reader with the uneasy knowledge that this is just a reprieve.
