Answer:
C. In the ancient world, Rome was the center of a powerful empire.
However, it gradually lost its strength, and in 410 CE it was
invaded and practically destroyed. What factors contributed to
Rome's downfall? Why did it find itself unable to defend its own
walls?
Explanation:
The first question asks what the cause of Rome's downfall was. In the second sentence the effect is Rome was invaded and destroyed.
This is the original sentence: <span>In a feeding frenzy, the pigeons descended upon the breadcrumbs that the kindly old man on the park bench continued to toss.
The correct answer is the prepositional phrase "on the park bench" acts as an adjectival phrase.
A is incorrect because a prepositional phrase cannot be a gerund phrase too. B is incorrect because a prepositional phrase cannot be a verb phrase as well. D is incorrect because 'to toss' is not a prepositional phrase, but rather an infinitive.
