- The soldiers crept cautiously <u>through the tunnel.</u>
and
- I was informed that the bus would arrive <u>in 45 minutes.</u>
Explanation:
The reason why the first one is not a correct option is because it include more than just the prepositional phrase... <u>The man</u> is not part of the prepositional phrase, so since it is underlined in the option it's incorrect. Had it just ben <u>In the house</u> we would be having a different story right now XD
<span>The sentences that contain prepositional phrases in brackets are: 1) (The man in the house) seemed to be asleep. 2) </span><span>The soldiers crept cautiously (through the tunnel.)
</span><span>A prepositional phrase is defined as a set of words that lack a verb or a subject. If you see that some part of a sentence lacks either verb or subject and contains a preposition - it is a prepositional phrase. The first sentence lacks a verb, but there is a subject and preposition 'in'. The second sentence contains preposition 'through' and object which is also a characteristics of prepositional phrase.</span>
