The following sentence is a run-on: The Merchant of Venice is an interesting play it is about a young man named Bassanio, who falls in love with wealthy girl, Portia.
It should be re-written the following way:
The Merchant of Venice is an interesting play. It is about a young man named Bassanio, who falls in love with wealthy girl, Portia.
The sentence is two sentences fused together as one, which makes it a run-on and also difficult to read. When the proper punctuation is used the sentence is no longer a run-on and is then easier to comprehend.
The preposition in this case is From while the prepositional phrase is From China as it consists of the preposition from and the noun China.

<u>Comparative</u><u>:</u> Jane walked softlier than Judy
<u>Superlative</u><u>:</u> Jane walked the softliest
<u>Superlative</u>: Jane walked the most softly
Explanation:

<em>However</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>more</em><em>/</em><em>most</em><em> </em><em>softly</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>used</em><em> </em><em>more</em><em> </em><em>often</em><em> </em><em>than</em><em> </em><em>softlier</em><em>/</em><em>softliest</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>everyday</em><em> </em><em>conversation.</em><em> </em><em>If</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>only</em><em> </em><em>choose</em><em> </em><em>one</em><em> </em><em>option</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>comparative</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>superlative,</em><em> </em><em>I</em><em> </em><em>think</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>should</em><em> </em><em>use</em><em> </em><em>more</em><em>/</em><em>most</em><em> </em><em>softly</em><em>.</em>
