Answer:

D. The top of the building was higher than I expected.

Explanation:

Modifiers are those words or groups of words that are added in a sentence/ to a noun to further provide more description to them. Among the four options provided in the question, Option D has the correct application of the modifier 'high' in its sentence construction. For the use of the comparative or superlative degree of 'high' depends on the form of the verb used in the sentence. Thus,

A. The top of the building was more high than I expected. (Wrong in its use of the verb- adverb agreement)

B. The top of the building was highest than I expected. (as there are no direct comparison numbers, highest cannot be used)

C. The top of the building was more higher than I expected. (used only when comparing two options)

D. The top of the building was higher than I expected. (correct)

Discuss the author's use of phrases and clauses. Begin by identifying the prepositional phrases and any noun, adjective, and adv
zimovet [89]

Hello. You did not enter the necessary text to answer this question, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I can help by conceptualizing the elements you need to find in the text. That way I advise you to find your answer.

A prepositional phrase is a word set that has a preposition in evidence. These sentences are part of a sentence and have no meaning on their own, needing a complement to make sense. Prepositional phrases usually have a structure formed with preposition + object + adjectives or articles. An example of a prepositional phrase would be "She ran the marathon with pride on Saturday"

Nouns are words that give name to any possible being, object, feeling, or possible situation. This will be the easiest element to identify in your text. Ex: House, horse, joy, asphalt, table, dogs, etc.

Adjective is a word that gives characteristics to nouns, that is, that word expresses the characteristics of a certain thing. Ex: Intelligent, clear, thin, noisy, wet, melancholy.

Adverbial clauses are phrases that are inserted in a main sentence, acting as an adverbial adjunct to that phrase, that is, these clauses work as an adverb and therefore, modifying a verb. Ex: She past the test, because she study a lot.
