Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 7 AIL 0631 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Apostrophe
Captions available
The idea
An apostrophe is a direct address to someone absent, dead, or to an abstraction or object. The glossary gives it no headword, which is a notable gap: the board's own calibration set includes a prose apostrophe to Vanity. This is the standard sense.
In practice
Direct address to the absent.
Where people slip
The exam uses a term the glossary omits.
