1. <em>(After several minutes,) </em><em>I finally located my car keys.  </em>The phrase in parenthesis is a <u>"prepositional phrase" (option A)</u>. This prepositional phrase is formed by the preposition "after" plus the adjective "several" and the noun "minutes".

2.<em> Mikayla's homeroom teacher, </em><em>(Mr. Jones.) </em><em>is proud of her</em>. The phrase in parenthesis is an <u>"appositive" (option C)</u>. The appositive "Mr. Jones" provides additional information about the noun "teacher".

3. <em>Henry's desire </em><em>(to win)</em><em> is obvious</em>. The phrase in parenthesis is an <u>"infinitive" (option B)</u>. The infinitive phrase in this case is used as an adjective which modifies the word "desire".

4. <em>(Talking)</em><em> is not allowed in class.</em> The phrase in parenthesis is a <u>"gerund" (option B)</u>. A gerund phrase includes a word ending in "ing" and functions as a noun.

5. <em>Josie's project was a failure,</em> <em>having not prepared properly.</em>  This sentence contains a <u>"dangling modifier" (option B)</u>. A dangling modifier is a a type of misplaced modifier, but it does not have anything to modify in the sentence; that's why the sentence should be restated so as to include the word/s that the modifier intends to describe.

Ancient Rome Spanned Three Continents; Europe , Africa , And Asia. With Beginnings As A Tribe in Central Italy And Evolving into A Republic (Ruled By An Oligarchy) And Later An Empire (Ruled By A “Temporary” Dictator Or A Emperor) , They Developed The Characteristics Of A Thriving Civilization. The Romans Prized Societal Order Or A Hierarchal System - The Senate , Citizens , Slaves. The Ancient Civilization Modeled Their Religious And Intellectual Beliefs (Dualism) From Greece And The Persians. The Modernly Visible Ancient Ruins Like The Colosseum Or The Temple Of Jupiter Optimus Maximus Evoke The Power And Culture Of What Was Then, The Roman Empire And Its Cities. Ancient Roman Cities Were Built With Grand Public Buildings In The Center, Surrounded By Blocks Of - Homes , Coliseums , Markets , Theaters , And Municipal Water Supplies (Bath Houses). City Lifestyle, While Lively And Vibrant, Could Also Be Described As Noisy, Congested, And Quite Expensive. The Cities Were Surrounded By Walls For Protection And Geography Purposes.
