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

Adjectival phrases modify nouns, which means that they usually stand next to a noun which they are describing. Having this in mind, the correct answer is B. A football game has four quarters of 15 minutes.
The prepositional phrase here is <em>of 15 minutes, </em>but it functions as an adjective phrase describing the noun <em>quarters</em>. 
A is incorrect because the prepositional phrase acts as an adverbial phrase modifying the verb <em>ends; </em>C is incorrect because the prepositional phrase functions as an adverbial phrase modifying the verb <em>supervised; </em>D is incorrect because of the same reason - the phrase modifies the verb <em>run.</em>

which statement best explains the simile in this excerpt? the cyclops is compared to zeus because of his size. the cyclops is co
Maru [420]

In the excerpt "Cyclops...lay down like a mast among his sheep.", the Cyclops is compared to a mast because of his size. He is not compared to Zeus (and it would be sacrilegious to compare a monster with the father of the gods); also, he is not surrendering. He is laying down because he has had his fill of Oydsseus's companions, not because he has been defeated.
