No, this sentence is not a verb phrase, because the subject is not part of the verb phrase here.
Here's why. The subject is "I," the verb is "believed," and everything following the verb ("every word he said") forms the object of the verb. By definition, a verb phrase is one verb + its various objects or modifiers. Here, "every word he said" operates as one single object (it's not just one word, it's EVERY word, and it's not just every word, it's every word HE said). But the subject is separate from the verb phrase, so the entire sentence is not a verb phrase (it's a subject + a verb phrase).
Answer:
As the person is petulant, he/she does not want the help or opinion of others, so the customer is not agreeable to the help that others offered.
Explanation:
A petulant person is someone that does not take into account the suggestions that others may make to help and considers himself or herself as someone with great qualities. The person acts childishly and has a little temper.

Explanation:
<u>The comparative degree, as the name suggests, compares two things to show which has the lesser or greater degree of the quality stated. For instance, I can compare my height to someone else's: Mark is shorter than I am.</u>
We are supposed to transform a sentence by using the comparative degree. The sentence is: <em>But before coming here, I had at least 80 francs</em>. Since we do not have the context in which the speaker says that, I will assume this person had at least 80 francs, but now he/she does not. Having that in mind, we can create the following sentence in the comparative degree:
I was 80 francs richer before coming here.
