1.-The prepositional Phrase is A). Prepositional Phrases can act as adjectives or adverbs.

2.-The correct answer is D) to curse or jinks. Because is like to use inadequete words.

3.- The right answer is C) The teacher "referenced" the book during today's lecture. It means the teacher gave references of the book. In the first example it should be: The heightened emotion "affected" me, not effected me. In letter B) it should be the lotion had an immediate "effect" on the sunburn, not affect. It didn't show affection for the sunburn. And in letter D) it should be the orange throw pillow "complemented" the other warm colors in the room, not complimented. It didn't give compliments.

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>1.</u>

<u>To drink my coffee</u>.

The unique way of identifying Prepositional Phrases is that they can act as adjectives or adverbs in a sentence.

<u>to curse or jinx. </u>

While cursing or jinxing bad choice of words are used.

<u>3. </u>
