Cevap

Each italicized noun phrase accurately matches its syntactic role: 'a renowned authority on constitutional law' is an appositive modifying the subject; 'a beacon of calm for the diplomats' is a subject complement following a linking verb; 'unrelenting political pressure' is a prepositional complement following 'despite'; and 'the forensic audit's detailed findings' is the direct object of 'reviewed'.
Each noun phrase is paired with its exact grammatical function based on syntactic position and relationship to surrounding verbals and prepositions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the structural position of 'a renowned authority on constitutional law' relative to 'Dr. Arinze'.
It sits adjacent to the head noun 'Dr. Arinze' between commas and redefines the same entity.
Noun phrases that immediately follow another noun to rename or describe it function appositively.
2
Examine the verb 'remained' in the second sentence.
The verb 'remained' acts as a copular (linking) verb connecting the subject 'the lead negotiator' to its post-verbal attribute.
Noun phrases following linking verbs that describe or identify the subject serve as subject complements.
3
Identify the word preceding 'unrelenting political pressure' in the third sentence.
The word 'despite' is a preposition governing the noun phrase that follows.
A noun phrase governed by and immediately following a preposition functions as a prepositional complement.
4
Determine the relationship between the transitive verb 'reviewed' and 'the forensic audit's detailed findings'.
The noun phrase directly undergoes the action expressed by the verb 'reviewed'.
The entity receiving the direct action of a transitive verb is the direct object.
