The correct answer is C. complex.
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Here, the independent clause is Galileo, the first astronomer to use a telescope, confirmed the theory and the dependent clause is that the earth and planets circle the sun.

In which sentence is the underlined phrase an adverb prepositional phrase?

Lina20 [59]

Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the underlined phrases, which are:

The biggest industry of the Cook Islands is tourism, which brings in more revenue than exporting fish and fruit.

The Cook Islands is a group of 15 small volcanic islands.

The Cook Islands stretch over 800 miles.

An airport on Rarotonga is a destination for tourists to the Cook Islands.

Answer:

The Cook Islands stretch over 800 miles.

Explanation:

Prepositional phrases begin with a preposition and have an object and, sometimes, modifiers. They can also act as adjectives when they modify nouns, and as adverbs when they modify verbs, by demonstrating how, when, where and why the action occurs. In this case, the underlined prepositional phrase functions as an adverbial phrase because it shows where or to what extent the Cook Islands stretch.

The rest of the options are incorrect because they modify nouns, so their object is related to the nouns they modify.

Mice and Men

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

When Curley's wife came up to them to ask about the whereabouts of her husband, she was met with a derogatory and even accusing manner. The men blamed her for always being out of the house.

This shows the expected way she was supposed to behave and also blamed for the 'disappearance' of Curley. Her opinion doesn't seem to matter to anyone, and everyone seems to believe that she will be happy as long as she stays at home.

Her conversation and getting 'interest' in Lennie in this chapter foreshadows her fate for whatever comes in close contact with Lennie seems to die. Moreover, her 'overarching' need to interfere in the matters of the ranch life, her need to be in the company of these men all lead up to the problems that will come in the next scenes.

Explanation:

John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" revolves around the lives of two men looking for work after the Great Depression. The lives of migrant workers and the conditions that prevail during those times, even though the story occurs within a short time of just 4 days.

In Chapter 4, Curley's wife interrupted the conversation of the men while they were in Crooks' room in the stables. Responding to her question of where Curley might have been, the men replied in a demeaning, derogatory way, which is suggestive of how 'flirty' and 'a bad woman' she was.

By judging the way even the ranch hands think of her, Curley's wife seems to live a life of discomfort, judgment, and controlled by the men around her. When Crooks' advised her to stay in her house, she replied "Think I like to stick in that house afla time?" This shows her pent-up feelings of what is expected of her and what she really feels.

But at the same time, this scene where she gets too involved in the matters of the men, even despising her own husband to the ranch hands forebodes the tragedy that will befall her. She also 'flirts' with Lennie, which clearly foreshadows her fate, as Lennie seems to 'kill/hurt' whoever/ whatever comes near to him.
