Identify the underlined element in the following passage from the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens. "Fog everywhere. Fog flo
wing up the river, among green banks and meadows; fog rolling down the river, where it hangs defiled among the ships and buildings of a great (and dirty) city." Infinitive phrase Prepositional phrase Sentence fragment Absolute phrase
I think that absolute phrases are the underlined element in this passage by Charles Dickens.
The following ones can be identified: “… flowing up the river […] city”, “…rolling down the river […]city”. Absolute phrases happen when a noun and a participle (in this case the present participle –ing) function as an independent clause. In this case, they describe the clause, the manner of the movement of the fog.
The answer would be A.The Maxi Deli is AROUND THE CORNER because around is a preposition.Since around is a preposition,it starts the prepositional phrase.
