Answer:
Explanation:
Find the subject. Who is doing something? Ricky. Ricky what? Ricky was. That is a complete sentence and it makes sense. Ricky going does not make sense. So, Ricky was. What does very unsteady describe? It describes how Ricky was. It describes the verb, making "very steady" an adverbial phrase. A prepositional phrase describes a noun. Nothing in this sentence describes Ricky. "Going" is a helping verb. Ricky was going. "Down the staircase backward," describes how Ricky was going, making it another adverbial phrase.
You didn't say what kind of phrase. I hope I helped.

Answer:
An analogy is used
Explanation:
When the example of the family wanting chili but you wanting pizza was used, it was to clarify and explain how a community works making it an analogy. I'll also include the definition of an analogy.
Analogy: a comparison of two unlike things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.
In fiction, a foil is a character who contrasts with another character, usually the protagonist, to highlight particular qualities of the other character. In some cases, a subplot can be used as a foil to the main plot. This is especially true in the case of metafiction and the "story within a story" motif.
Today I had to give a speech in English class (boo!). The assignment had two parts: to explain a process to prepare some visual aids. I thought I knew my material, but I'm not sure I did very well at first. Both my teachers (and) my classmates looked very confused while I spoke. Finally, I began to concentrate on what I was saying (and) the situation improved. I even coaxed a few laughs from my audience. Not only did I start to make sense, I began to have fun. (As) I gave this speech, I have learned something about myself. I will never be a great public speaker, (however) I would not fear public speaking either.
