The word in the sentence which the underlined phrase
modifies is:
D. Marcella
<span>The phrase adds an idea where the noun “Marcella”
is resting. Therefore it answers the question “where”. This is an example of
prepositional phrase which functions as an adjective. </span>
Answer:
“whose origin was a Terminus.”
Explanation:
This is the phrase that works both as a paradox and as a pun. The paradox lies in the fact that the word "terminus" means "end." Therefore, it is a paradox to say that the origin was the end. Moreover, the phrase works as a pun because the word Terminus is being used as a name, but also as a way to reference a "terminal" (a train terminal).

Option a. is a verb phrase as well as option b. In the same way, letter d. is not a prepositional phrase as it is an adjective phrase used in the comparative form.
