English

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.

Which quotation from the story of the fisherman in the Arabian nights entertainment supports the theme that cleverness trumps wr
shepuryov [24]

We can see here that the quotation from "The Story of the Fisherman" in the Arabian nights entertainment that supports the theme that cleverness trumps wrath is: “That vase could not contain one of your feet even, and how could your whole body go in? I cannot believe it unless I see you do the thing.”

<h3>What is theme?</h3>

Theme actually refers to the underlying lesson or message that is seen in a written work which the author or writer is passing across to the readers.

The options that complete the question are:

A. “Vexed with having such a bad haul, when he had mended his nets, which the carcase of the butt had broken in several places, he threw them a second time.”

B. “‘O Fortune,’ he cried, ‘do not trifle thus with me, a poor fisherman, who can hardly support his family!’”

C. “At last, I grew angry at being captive for so long, and I vowed that if anyone would release me I would kill him at once.”

D. “That vase could not contain one of your feet even, and how could your whole body go in? I cannot believe it unless I see you do the thing.”

We can actually deduce here that option D supports the theme that cleverness trumps wrath.
