An absolute phrase is defined as a modifier or a modifier with other words, that is being connected to a sentence or a noun without using any conjunction. The sentence that grammatically uses an absolute phrase is option A. The school bus drove over the hill, its lumbering yellow form full of raucous students.
Since an absolute phrase modifies a noun, and is separated from the rest of the sentence using a comma usually, with no conjunctions, the correct answer is option A. The school bus drove over the hill, its lumbering yellow form full of raucous students.
This one is right because it contains a comma and there is no conjunction (and) as we can see in the third sentence.
The pilgrims demonstrated their values in their daily effort to survive in the harsh environment by refusing to give up in the midst of extreme winter, sickness, starvation and no wilderness survival skills. They stayed together and helped each other out as a community.
Descriptive?? This question needs a little more context, but yeah, usually when a poet is using figurative language they tend to use very descriptive words.
