Which sentence contains a verbal phrase acting as a modifier? Passing my driving test on the first attempt would be the highligh
t of my day.Giving a presentation in front of my class, I suddenly developed severe stage fright.Giving a presentation in front of my class, I suddenly developed severe stage fright.
You wrote the same sentence twice, so I'm not sure if there are more than two options. Nevertheless, the sentence which contains a verbal phrase acting as a modifier is the second one - <span>Giving a presentation in front of my class, I suddenly developed severe stage fright. Here, the verbal phrase <em>giving a presentation in front of my class </em>is used as a modifier, an adverbial modifier stating the reason why this person developed stage fright. On the other hand, in the first sentence, <em>passing my driving test on the first attempt </em>is not used as a modifier, but rather as the subject of this sentence. </span>
The correct answer to the question presented above is true. Laertes does jump into the grave before Hamlet does. He jumps into the grave first to hold Ophelia in his arms again and cursed at Hamlet before he did it.
