3.It is my pleasure to introduce Dr. Weldon Smithson

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

An appositive simply refers to a noun or a noun phrase which modifies the noun and then gives more information about such noun. Its main purpose in a sentence is to help in identifying the noun and explain it.

The appositive in the sentence will then be "the famous etymologist" as it gives more information about Dr. Weldon Smithson.
