Peserta
tes TOEFL dapat terjebak oleh pertanyaan kalimat "appositive" dalam
Structure and Written Expression TOEFL Test. Pasalnya, kita bisa saja keliru
menentukan subjek dalam kalimat appositive. Appositive merupakan kata benda
(noun) yang datang sebelum atau sesudah kata benda lain, namun memiliki
keterikatan sebagai status yang sama. Cara menjawab soal TOEFL structure
jenis ini, perhatikan kalimat berikut.
Sally, the best student in the class, got an A on the exam.
(Sally, siswa terbaik di kelas, mendapat nilai A pada ujian)
(Sally, siswa terbaik di kelas, mendapat nilai A pada ujian)
Dalam
kalimat di atas, Sally sebagai subjek. Sedangkan, the best student in the class
adalah sebagai frase appositive. Sebab, student adalah kata benda (noun) dan
dipisahkan oleh tanda koma. Kalimat di atas menunjukkan bahwa Sally dan the
best student in the class adalah orang yang sama (Sally = student). Jika kita
membuang kalimat appositivenya, akan jadi "Sally got an A on the
exam" (Sally mendapat nilai A dalam ujian).
