Answer:

"by the door"

Explanation:

A prepositional phrase usually comprises of a preposition, its object(noun, pronoun, gerund) and a modifier of the object. It functions as an adjective or adverb in the sentence that modifies either the verb or the noun in the sentence. In the given statement, the prepositional phrase employed is "by the door" which evidently justifies the above-provided claim. It begins with a preposition 'by' which is followed by its object 'door' and it's modifier 'the'. The prepositional phrase in the given sentence functions as an adverb that modifies the verb 'waited' in the sentence and it also answers the question 'waited where?"

3 . We were at a disadvantage ____ that we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

We were at a disadvantage in that that we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the correct preposition to be used is "in". This is because "in" will introduce the argument or provide an explanation for the statement before the blank.

With the use of "in", the statement "we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using" provides an explanation for the first statement "[W]e were at a disadvantage". Whereas the use of the prepositions "by", "with", and "for" are incorrect.

Thus, the correct answer is "in".

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

D). Antonyms.

Explanation:

The authors provide context clues which are hints or clues that assist the readers to define the meaning of an unusual or unfamiliar word.

In the given example, the antonym('a word with the opposite or contradictory meaning of the given words') of 'propaganda' would best help the audience to define it. The opposite meaning('antonym') of propaganda is 'truth, fact, or reality' which is signaled by words like 'honest, fact-based reading.' It helps the reader define that 'propaganda' is 'biased or manipulated information intended to influence people' as the Guilder people were forced to read it who used to read facts or reality(opposite of 'propaganda') earlier. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
