Reyna Austin · Answer 1

The sentence that combines the two sentences above with an appositive phrase is sentence C.

Explanation:

An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. In the sentence above, "an innovation in factory production" is the appositive phrase that renames the noun "assembly line". This is a nonessential appositive as the information it provides is not necessary to complete the meaning of the sentence. This means that the appositive phrase can be removed and the meaning of the sentence would be left unchanged (see 1).
