Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the underlined phrases, which are:

The biggest industry of the Cook Islands is tourism, which brings in more revenue than exporting fish and fruit.

The Cook Islands is a group of 15 small volcanic islands.

The Cook Islands stretch over 800 miles.

An airport on Rarotonga is a destination for tourists to the Cook Islands.

Answer:

The Cook Islands stretch over 800 miles.

Explanation:

Prepositional phrases begin with a preposition and have an object and, sometimes, modifiers. They can also act as adjectives when they modify nouns, and as adverbs when they modify verbs, by demonstrating how, when, where and why the action occurs. In this case, the underlined prepositional phrase functions as an adverbial phrase because it shows where or to what extent the Cook Islands stretch.

The rest of the options are incorrect because they modify nouns, so their object is related to the nouns they modify.

What is a theme of 'The Girl Who Threw Butterflies'? Use two details from the story to support your answer.

Answer:

The theme of "The Girl Who Threw Butterflies" is self-confidence and self-trust.

Explanation:

"The Girl Who Threw Butterflies" is a novel written by Mick Cochrane. The novel is about a young girl named Molly Williams, an eighth-grader, who has lost her father in a car accident.

Molly doesn't want to be seen with sympathetic eyes by people, conveying the message "Oh! Poor girl, she has lost her father", rather she wanted to be known more than that. Molly with this desire in her heart joins the boys' baseball team. The theme of the novel is self-confidence and self-trust. This theme is evident when Molly tries to persuade her mother and everyone that she can play and compete with the boys in the baseball team. But her mother was unsure if she could play baseball with boys. Another evidence is when Molly tries to get into the boys' baseball team and her trial was taken, every boy thought that Molly won't be able to make it up to the team and that she can only play girls softball. But in Chapter 13 we can see that how Molly was able to make herself a place in the team and was selected.

"She took a deep breath and then looked. There it was, at the very bottom of the list, the very last name: Molly Williams."
