Answer:

Over the mantelpiece

Explanation:

A prepositional phrase is a modifying phrase which includes a preposition (in this case, "over") and the object of the preposition (in this case, "the mantelpiece.")

Prepositions are words like "in, on, over, at, beside," etc, which then precede a noun.  They are in "pre-position" in front of a noun, you might say (thus the term "preposition.")   Long ago, the English language used to use inflected nouns (as a number of other languages do) to indicate things that we now accomplish through the use of prepositions.  The time of transition between Old English (up to about AD 1150) and Middle English (from 12th to 15th centuries) is when prepositions became common in English usage.

Part I

The text structure is how the text is organized. Text structures include most of the time compare and contrast, sequence, description, problem and solution, and cause and effect. The text structure is one of the most important parts of a text. Some examples of a text structures are the sequence structure, which sorts out the text according to the order of the steps in a process or the chronological order of the events of the stories. And the problem and solution text structure, which presents a problem and then tries finding a solution and its consequences.

Part II

In the consistent text structure in the story "To Build a fire" the author consistently develops the northern theme in his work. cause-and-effect relationships are important for the author, he is interested in the psychology of the main character, the motives of his actions and the internal sources of forces for resistance. In "Gumption" the descriptive structure makes it easier for the author to emphasize actions and reveal how can each person of foolish decisions contribute to its downfall. they both tell a story of someone that is suffering. in "To Build a fire" he has to survive out in the wilderness, and in "gumption" they have to deal with racism.

Part III

The story "Gumption"  has a descriptive structure, because it describes an idea. In the story, the author makes the reader understand Clara's individual interpretation of  "Gumption" by depicting it to the reader. But in "To build a fire" the author uses a sequential structure (the ideas are presented as they happen in time) and it shows the reader how each one of the man's unintelligent decisions plays a part in his undoing.
