In the first sentence, the appositive is<br />
restrictive. It indicates that I have more<br />
than one daughter, and the appositive<br />
is necessary to know which daughter I<br />
am referring to. Therefore, the<br />
appositive is crucial to the meaning of<br />
the sentence and h<strong>as</strong> no comm<strong>as</strong>.<br />

would not cause confusion because my<br />
listeners know I have only one<br />
daughter.
