  1. After Fuego and after bonfires. What comes between the commas is called an appositive phrase.


  2. the island of Tierra del Fuego, named th land of fire by the explorer ferdinand Magellan, because of its many bonfires, lies off the southern tip of south america in a cold climate.

  3. The island of Tierra del Fuego, named the Land of Fire by the explorer Ferdinand Magellan because of its many Indian bonfires, lies off the southern tip of South America in a cold climate.

    It might be more pleasing to read if it were two sentences, such as:

    The island of Tierra del Fuego lies off the southern tip of South America in a cold climate.  The great explorer Ferdinand Magellan nicknamed the island the Land of Fire because of its many Indian bonfires.

  4. yes, i have the same appetite but i still havent

    regain the 2 lbs. until now. and no, i dont exercise.

  5. The island of Tierra del Fuego, named the Land of Fire by the explorer Ferdinand Magellan because of its many Indian bonfires, lies off the southern tip of South America in a cold climate.

    All the things in between the commas are not part of the main idea, which is "The island of Tierra del Fuego lies off the southern tip of South America in a cold climate."
