We are supposed to combine the two sentences using an appositive phrase. We are also supposed to underline and properly punctuate the appositive phrase used:
24. The careless man shot a condor, the rarest bird in California.
An appositive phrase is used to rename a noun by offering more information about it.
If the information provided by the appositive phrase is essential for the understanding of the sentence, the phrase must not be placed between commas.
If the information is not essential and the sentence can be understood without it, the phrase must be placed after a comma or between two commas, depending on its position in the sentence.
In the sentence we formed above, the appositive phrase is "the rarest bird in California." It is providing more information about the noun "condor".
The appositive phrase above is placed after a comma because the main clause can be understood without it.
