2. Is the preposition phrase "through an in-depth questionnaire" an appositive?
3. Which is the antecedent of the adjective clause " in which of these areas...", gauges, or questionnaire?
4. If the word "gauges" is a noun, then is it the antecedent of the adjective clause "in which of these three areas...."?
