For something to be a clause, it must contain a subject and a verb. An appositive phrase does contain a verb. It's a phrase, associated with a noun, which provides more information about that noun (note that in this sentence, "associated with a noun" is an appositive phrase).Another example of a sentence with an appositive phrase is this:"Johnny, my neighbor, planted a tree."A similar sentence with an adjective clause is this:"Johnny, who lives next door to me, planted a tree."
participle phrase
It is quite common for the subject-verb relationship in a sentence to be confused by an appositive or a prepositional phrase with a plural object that precedes the verb. Just keep in mind that a verb must agree with its subject, not with a noun that intervenes between it and the subject, when that noun is an appositive or the object in a phrase.
The appositive in the sentence is the noun 'gift'.The appositive noun 'gift' is describing the noun stereo system.Note: The complete appositive is the phrase 'a gift from her parents' which restates the noun 'stereo system'.
'The beautiful dance' is a phrase. Sentences and clauses must contain a finite verb.
