h of the following groups of words make up the prepositional phrase in the sentence above? until 7 o'clock but my friends never showed up to see the movie
<u><em>‘To see the movie’ </em></u><em>is the group of words which forms the prepositional phrase of the sentence. </em>

This is because it includes the preposition ‘to’, the object ‘movie’ and the modifier of the object ‘see’. It helps in giving the description of the noun and the actions which needs to take place. The word "see" demonstrates that the noun "movie" is actionable to vision and thus needs to be seen.
Prepositional phrases consist of a preposition, an object and, sometimes, modifiers. In this case, <em>until seven o'clock</em> functions as an adverb and modifies the verb <em>waited</em>.
The other options are incorrect because <em>but my friends never showed up </em>is a clause introduced by the coordinating conjunction <em>but</em>, and<em> to see the movie</em> is an infinitive phrase.
