I would probably say that the author used diction to achieve some kind of effect in the first sentence.
A. The teacher stood at the door smiling brightly and welcoming each student to her classroom on the first day of school.
The author's diction, or word choice, in this sentence portrays the teacher as a nice, kind, caring person.
The kind of phrase the underlined words in the sentence is: A. <span>adverb phrase. As the name suggests, an adverb phrase functions the same way the adverb does. It modifies a adjective, verb, and adverb. In the sentence above, the phrase provides more details on the adjective "thousands". </span>
