In the pages 141-171, Beowulf had shown his intention to slay Grendel. Beowulf may have been fatherless in an early, but he had grown to be a brave warrior. He was also boastful and had bragged that he can kill any creatures, even the ones that seemed to be impossible to defeat.
The correct answer is D) After the big game, my family wanted to celebrate. To understand why it's important to know that an adverbial phrase is when the adverb is used to describe <u>when, where, how, how often or how long</u> something happens. In this case, we have an adverbial phrase of time because it states when something happens: "<em>After the big game</em>" this part help us to understand when the action happens , also the reason behind why they wanted to celebrate and at the end, it adds more detail to the sentence "<em>My family wanted to celebrate</em>".
The adverb is placed at the beginning of the sentence so we can cross out the <u>option B</u> and also the <u>option C.</u> The option B is describing where the family come from and "from out of town" doesn't function here as an adverb, the function here is to describe the precedence of the family but no more details. <u>The option A</u> is incorrect because when we use "<em>entire</em>" as an adverb it only goes after a verb and in this case, we have "<em>entire family</em>" so it goes with a noun and it's not correct as an adverbial phrase.
