Question

Use commas to correctly punctuate the appositive in each sentence. Rewrite the corrected sentence, including punctuation, in your answer.

A courageous woman Hatshepsut reigned during Egypt's eighteenth dynasty.

Answer 1

A courageous woman, Hatshepsut, reigned during Egypt's eighteenth dynasty.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the present sentence, the commas function as a kind of parenthesis, a brake on the development of the sentence that serves to clarify that the person, the courageous woman spoken of, was Hatshepsut. Thus, the comma is used in its vocative function, serving to clarify the subject of the sentence and to whom the predicate of the sentence refers.
