Read the sentences. in 1903, two brothers made history by flying an airplane at kitty hawk. their names were orville and wilbur wright. which sentence combines these two sentences with an appositive phrase? in 1903, two brothers, who were orville and wilbur wright, made history by flying an airplane at kitty hawk. flying an airplane at kitty hawk with his brother orville, wilbur wright made history in 1903. in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made history by flying an airplane at kitty hawk. in 1903, two brothers, orville and wilbur wright, made history by flying an airplane at kitty hawk.

The answer to your question would be that the sentence that combines the selected sentences with an appositive phrase is the following one: In 1903, two brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, made history by flying an airplane at Kitty Hawk.

An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. An appositive which is non-essential (its information is not relevant to the meaning of the sentence) is always offset with commas. In this case, the appositive "Orville and Wilbur Wright" renames the NP "two brothers".

The sentence that combines the two sentences with an appositive phrase is the last one: "In 1903, two brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, made history by flying an airplane at Kitty Hawk".

Explanation: An appositive phrase is a noun phrase that is used to rename another noun or noun phrase which is beside the appositive. Appositive phases can be essential or nonessential. While essential appositive phrases are not separated from the rest of the sentence, nonessential appositive phrases are moved apart from the other elements in the sentence because they are found between commas. In the sentence "In 1903, two brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, made history by flying an airplane at Kitty Hawk" the appositive phrase is "Orville and Wilbur Wright" since it is renaming and identifying "two brothers". Moreover, it is a nonessential appositive phrase because it is separated from the rest of the sentence.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
