Which phrase is a prepositional phrase?

English
1 answer:
dmitriy555 [2]3 years ago

B is a prepositional phrase as it contains a prepositon as the head (throughout) followed by an NP (nominal phrase) which functions as the object.  

A, C and D are not phrases but sentences. Consequently, they are composed of two parts: a subject and a predicate. For example,  in "but they never stopped", the personal pronoun "they" functions as the subject of the sentence, that is, it's what the sentence is about. The rest of the sentence is the predicate, it tells something about the subject.  

A is grammatically incorrect as it stands for an incomplete sentence. It contains the subject (they) and a main verb functioning as the head of the verbal phrase but it does not have the subordinate clause which should followed after the verb for the sentence to be considered correct.  On the contrary, D is gramatically correct for it is a complete sentence. However, it is not a prepositional phrase because it is not a phrase but a sentence. The pronoun "it" is the head of the phrase and it is not a preposition.  The verbal phrase "was a happy time" stands for the predicate, making the sentence grammatically correct.  Said VP (verbal phrase) takes a nominal phrase as the object ("a happy time").

To sum up, prepositional phrases are made up of a preposition functioning as the head and its object. It can also contain modifiers.  They take a nominal phrase as the object. That is why B is the correct answer. "Throughout" is the head of the PP (prepositional phrase) taking the nominal phrase "his life" as the object.

stellarik [79]
1.) To show a negative declarative sentence, use non- Manual marker of shaking your head. In slang , this is smh. 

2.) To show an affirmative declarative sentence, use the non-Manual marker of nodding your head. This shows it is a yes or correct answer. 

3.) Signing Me Teacher Me while shaking your head means I am not the teacher. Since shaking your head is a negative. 

4.) You can change the sentence "I am not hungry" into " I am hungry" with a non- Manual marker by nodding your head.

PtichkaEL [24]

The awnser is be semi true means that some of it is true.  The statement might be partly true. And semi means half.

I found more information on this word.

  •      "The statement might be partly true, the statement may be totally true but only part of the whole truth, or it may use some deceptive element, such as improper punctuation, or double meaning, especially if the intent is to deceive, evade, blame or misrepresent the truth."
  • "Semi- is a numerical prefix meaning "half" The prefix alone is often used as an abbreviation when the rest of the word (the thing which half of is being described) is clear from context."
