I do not get this question and what is the meaning of apposition. Please tell me why it has to be so and so.

Using your dictionary, you can find the meanings of the 4 words, and you will also see that only 'applause' (the clapping of hands by the audience to show appreciation for the play) makes sense in this sentence.
