Question

Select the correct text in the passage.

Answer 1

The correct answers are letter B and E. These two options are phrases in the passage that are verb phrases. In letter B, the verb phrase “are enrolled” is made up of the verb “are” plus the adjective “enrolled” functioning as Subject Complement. In letter E, the verb phrase “are getting” is made up of the construction of the present progressive tense (the present form of the verb “to be” plus the “-ing” form of the main verb). Letter A is an incorrect answer, since “help senior citizens” is part of an infinitive clause functioning as an adverbial of purpose (to help senior citizens). Letter C is an incorrect answer, since “Everyone with Medicare” is a nominal clause functioning as Subject. Letter D is also an incorrect answer, since “get this coverage” is part of an infinitive clause functioning as an adverbial of purpose (“to get this coverage”).
