The answer is "the pool."

The expression "in their backyard" is a prepositional phrase, which modifies the noun before it.

Prepositional phrases are words arranged without a subject or verb. They are usually made up of either a preposition and a noun, a preposition and a gerund, or a preposition and a clause.

If prepositional phrases modify a noun, as in this case, they are called "adjectival phrases."

Answer:

This foreshadows Percy Jackson's connection to Greek mythology.

Explanation:

The above excerpt was taken from the book "Parcy Jackson and the lightning thief" and shows the moment when Percy still doesn't know that he is Posseidon's son and is living like an ordinary boy attending a Greek mythology class, which seems uninteresting to all the students. Like Percy, the reader is still unaware of his connection to Greek mythology, but the girls' speech in the text foreshadows this news that is revealed a few minutes later.

Explain the significance of the final statement in this novel. Of Mice And Men
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
The final statement of the novel "Of Mice and Men" is "Now what the hell do you suppose is eatin' them two guys" said by Curly and Carlson after George kills Lennie. This shows that Carlson has no insight whatsoever because he doesn't understand the extremity of the situation. This statement is so significant alongside Carlson's obliviousness because it shows that what is "eatin'" at George will be the guilt that comes from not only letting Lennie inflict pain on someone else but killing his best friend. This reaffirms that the pain and guilt that 'eats' away at George will be lifelong and internal, as the surrounding men will never understand his regret, guilt, and shame.
