What is the function of the noun phrase my best friends in this sentence? jayden and malik, my best friends, took the subway to the park.
indirect object
appositive
subject
direct object

The correct answer is B. Appositive

Explanation:

In grammar, a noun phrase is a set of words that contain a noun and can have different functions as they can act as a subject or entity that performs the action; as a direct object or entity affected by the action; as an indirect object or the entity for or to whom the action is performed or as an appositive or words that describe or define a noun that is placed besides the appositive and which are often enclosed by commas. This implies in the case of the noun phrase "my best friends" this mainly acts as an appositive because the only function of this is to define or describe the noun Jayden and Malik, but this is not the agent of the sentence or is affected by the action.

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
