"I believed every word he said." Is this sentence a verb phrase

English

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).

Select the entire absolute phrase in the sentence.
mezya [45]
Absolute phrases are types of phrases which don't refer to just a single word in a sentence, but rather to the entire sentence. Usually, they have this form: noun + participle (looks like a verb ending in -ing) + optional modifiers/objects.
In this sentence, just look for a participle in order to find your absolute phrase. The correct answer is eyes glittering with concentration. The phrase describes how Jacques managed to move his cursor.

How is hospitality an essential element in everyday life?
jonny [76]
Hospitality is an essential element of everyday life because many service industries which we purchase services from or are employed in require hospitality as an essential element of the business. Also a great deal of our lives either in terms of our interactions with friends, family, business partners, or colleagues requires some degree of hospitality in the relationship.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer: A. By allowing the audience to review information and reflect on it.

A way in which magazines, newspapers and other types of print media can uniquely affect a message is by allowing the audience to review information and reflect on it. The fact that the message they convey is written down allows the audience to look back on it as many times as they want to. It also allows them to read at the speed they find most comfortable. This can help with comprehension and reflection.
