This is the original sentence: <span>In a feeding frenzy, the pigeons descended upon the breadcrumbs that the kindly old man on the park bench continued to toss.
The correct answer is the prepositional phrase "on the park bench" acts as an adjectival phrase.
A is incorrect because a prepositional phrase cannot be a gerund phrase too. B is incorrect because a prepositional phrase cannot be a verb phrase as well. D is incorrect because 'to toss' is not a prepositional phrase, but rather an infinitive.
</span>
Answer:
b. objective
Explanation:
To say that someone is 'good' or 'strong' is not objective because it is based on your own values, perceptions and judgement. So, someone else might have a very different perception of those adjectives based on his own experience and values.
It's not objective, it's subjective, because it depends of the subject (individual) saying those words, on what they define is good, on what they believe is strong and so on.
Objective means it's something that everyone agrees on, that has a general consensus among the population. For example, saying someone is beautiful/handsome implies your own criteria of beauty, which may or may not be shared by others. But if you say someone is tall, then it can be measured and quantified to determine if it's really the case or not, it's not dependent on someone's opinion or feelings.

Dear _____,
I'm writing to complain about a teacher's behavior in our class. Teachers have a significant impact on our lives. Teachers assist students in thriving in their learning by teaching them new or more complex academic curricula, as well as teaching and reinforcing desired behavior. Adolescents are adults in training who look to their teachers for guidance in becoming civil members of society. However, as a result of the impact of bad teachers, many diverse communities are feeling the impact of bad teacher behavior, with rising classroom incivility. This letter, however, is not intended to belittle or diminish teachers' integrity; rather, it is a letter that illustrates the effects teachers have on adolescents using a variety of scholarly sources.
respectfully,
It seems that the BJP government’s decision to illegalise the sale of cattle for slaughter at animal markets has its roots in a PIL that quotes the five-yearly Gadhimai festival in Nepal, where thousands of buffaloes are taken from India to be sacrificed to ‘appease’ Gadhimai, the goddess of power.
The contradictions that emerge from cattle – here encompassing all bovines – slaughter rules in Nepal perplex many: despite being predominantly Hindu, animal sacrifice continues to be practised. Cow slaughter is explicitly prohibited even in Nepal’s new constitution since it is the national animal, yet the ritual sacrifice of buffaloes and the consumption of their meat is not frowned upon. There is also, in marked contrast to the Indian government’s blanket approach to cattle terminology, a lucid distinction between cows (both the male and female) and other ‘cattle’ species (such as buffaloes and yaks).
The emergence of this contradictory, often paradoxical, approach to cattle slaughter in Nepal is the result of a careful balancing act by the rulers of modern Nepal. The Shah dynasty and the Rana prime ministers often found themselves at a crossroads to explicitly define the rules of cattle slaughter. As rulers of a perceived ‘asal Hindu-sthan’, their dharma bound them to protect the cow – the House of Gorkha borrows its name from the Sanskrit ‘gou-raksha’ – but as they expanded into an empire, their stringent Brahminic rules came into conflict with des-dharma, or existing local customs, where cattle-killing was a norm. What followed was an intentionally ambiguous approach to cattle slaughter, an exercise in social realpolitik.
