Answer:

‘To see the movie’ is the group of words which forms the prepositional phrase of the sentence.

Explanation:

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.

Answer:

until 7 o'clock

Explanation:

Prepositional phrases consist of a preposition, an object and, sometimes, modifiers. In this case, until seven o'clock functions as an adverb and modifies the verb waited.

The other options are incorrect because but my friends never showed up is a clause introduced by the coordinating conjunction but, and to see the movie is an infinitive phrase.
