Answer 1

The answer is:

A) Why can't we create a new list of jobs for me to do for my allowance?

Prepositional phrases function as adjectives or adverbs. They begin with a preposition and continue with a noun, pronoun, gerund or clause, which might contain modifiers. In the example sentence, the prepositional phrase that does not possess an idiomatic utterance natural to a native speaker is: "for me to do for my allowance?"
