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.

Write a letter the chair of Governors outlining your views on the proposal

RideAnS [48]

Hello. You did not inform the proposal to which the letter should refer. In that case, I wrote a letter responding to a proposal on raising taxes on the energy bill to fix injuries on major highways.

Answer and Explanation:

Dear sir.

I am writing to you about the proposal that seeks to raise taxes on the energy bill. I speak on behalf of the whole community when I say that we appreciate the initiative to use these taxes to repair our highways, which will make access to our state much easier.

However, I cannot help expressing a certain concern about the time that these works and the increase in taxes will continue and in the type of inspection that these works will have. This is because our state is made up of mostly low-income people, and although everyone agrees to pay for the highways concert, everyone is concerned about the delay in completing public works.

For this reason, I would like to ask you to be presented with a schedule of the work and a plan that show how the resources will be used. In addition, I would like the entire team that will work with this work to be presented to the population.

Kind regards.
