The appositives are "the white ones," "my favorite teachers," "her favorite wood," "the first-place winner," and "the runner," as is further explained below.

What is an appositive?

We call a noun or noun phrase an appositive when it is placed after another noun or noun phrase with the purpose of providing more information about it. In other words, an appositive renames a noun or a noun phrase.

Let's list the appositives found in each sentence and then state which noun they refer to:

"the white ones" --> envelopes

"my favorite teachers" --> Ms. Lin and Mr. Rinaldo

"her favorite wood" --> pine

"the first-place winner" --> project

"the runner" --> Jesse Owens

For example, in number 1, the appositive "the white ones" is renaming the noun "envelopes." Now we know that the speaker is talking specifically about the white envelopes, not about envelopes of other colors.
