Which words in the sentence are the appositive phrase?
His favorite meal, chicken and dumplings, is bubbling on the stove.
a. is bubbling
b. chicken and dumplings
c. on the stove
d. His favorite meal
B is the correct answer. Appositive phrase is usually separated from the rest of the sentence by commas, as in this case, and it modifies the noun/subject, as "chicken and dumplings" modifies 'meal'.
