Answer:

The verb phrase of the sentence is "ate the cake"  

Explanation:

A verb phrase refers to the part or portion of a sentence that contains the verb and the object which can be either a direct or an indirect object.  

Bearing this in mind, in the particular sentence provided  <em>John ate the cake, </em>the verb phrase is <em>"ate the cake"</em> since ate corresponds to the verb and the cake corresponds to the direct object.

Verb means the action of the sentence, the action going on is 'ate', so that is the verb.

Explain what Trevor means in the following quote, and WHO he is talking about. " Being chosen is the greatest gift you can give
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

This quote comes from a book that Trevor Noah wrote about a South African childhood. So this quote could be talking about being accepted as a black person. In my opinion, I think it means being accepted for who you are. Not just accepted by the law but also human beings because African Americans weren't accepted by white people for a very long time even though by law they were told to be treated equally.
