Marta_Voda [28]3 years ago
5 0

Assuming the bolded words are: <em>"for strong bones and teeth"</em> and that you had to choose between:

  1. <em>noun phrase</em>
  2. <em>adverb phrase</em>
  3. <em>verb phrase</em>
  4. <em>adjective phrase</em>

It is an adjective phrase (4).

An adjective phrase is a group of words complementing, specifying, or modifying a 'head' adjective in the sentence. It is called an adjective (or adjectival) phrase because the whole group of words functions as an adjective, which means it provides information about a noun.

Here, the adjective phrase "for strong bones and teeth" is specifying the head adjective "essential." It is functioning as an adjective for the noun "calcium" by giving us information about it.

Read the excerpt from chapter 23 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Ber [7]

Answer:

It seems that the boy uses everyday language in order to describe what he sees and smells. By resorting to this, the reader gets the perspective of a young boy from a poor social class because the imaginary used is based on elements that he might see on daily bases, smells like the cat or somthing roaten are really common in the streets.
