I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. <span>The daily life of the author of "The Wife's Lament" can best be described as lonely. I guess you can already sense the loneliness from the title itself having the word lament. Hope this helps.</span>
No, this sentence is not a verb phrase, because the subject is not part of the verb phrase here.
Here's why. The subject is "I," the verb is "believed," and everything following the verb ("every word he said") forms the object of the verb. By definition, a verb phrase is one verb + its various objects or modifiers. Here, "every word he said" operates as one single object (it's not just one word, it's EVERY word, and it's not just every word, it's every word HE said). But the subject is separate from the verb phrase, so the entire sentence is not a verb phrase (it's a subject + a verb phrase).
Are you asking how to punctuate the sentence? If so, then....
The squirrel reached for the bird feeder, for he saw an abundance of sunflower seeds.
A comma is needed before the coordinating conjunction 'for' that separates the two independent clauses.
