The correct answer is A. The massive Labrador Retriever

Explanation:

In grammar, a noun phrase refers to a set of words that can be a subject or object in a sentence. This type of phrases can be identified because they always include a noun  (word that names an object, animal, person or entity) or a pronoun (words such as she, he, it, etc that  replaces a noun) along with other words such as adjectives that describe or modify the main noun or pronoun. Considering this, the one from the options that is a noun phrase is "the massive Labrador Retriever" because this phrase includes one main noun "Labrador Retriever" along with an adjective or modifier to describe "massive" which are two of the main features of noun phrases, also this phrase can be a subject or object. On the other hand, other options do not include a noun and can not act as a subject or object in a sentence and therefore cannot be noun phrases.

The answer is A. the massive Labrador Retriever

A noun phrase or nominal phrase (abbreviated NP) is a phrase which has a noun (or indefinite pronoun) as its head word, or which performs the same grammatical function as such a phrase. Noun phrases are very common cross-linguistically, and they may be the most frequently occurring phrase type.

Which four parts of this excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" show that the White family doubts the major's story?
eduard

Parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 show the attitudes and comments made by the White family about the major’s story and the alleged powers of the monkey’s paw.  

In part 2, Mrs. White compares the major’s story with the ‘Arabian nights’ so as to show that, for her, it was nothing more than a tale. In addition, she makes a scornful comment about the seriousness of the situation.

In part 3, the overall veracity of the major is questioned, indicating the lack of trust in his words.

In part 4, a sarcastic comment about the odds of the wishes coming true is made by Herbert, which indicates his skepticism about the paw’s powers.

In part 5, Mr. White’s doubtfulness is literally expressed in the text.

The remaining part (part 1) is the only one that shows the words of the major himself. Thus, it is self-evident that this is the only part that will not express doubts about his story.
