Answer:

Explanation:

Find the subject. Who is doing something? Ricky. Ricky what? Ricky was. That is a complete sentence and it makes sense. Ricky going does not make sense. So, Ricky was. What does very unsteady describe? It describes how Ricky was. It describes the verb, making "very steady" an adverbial phrase. A prepositional phrase describes a noun. Nothing in this sentence describes Ricky. "Going" is a helping verb. Ricky was going. "Down the staircase backward," describes how Ricky was going, making it another adverbial phrase.

You didn't say what kind of phrase. I hope I helped.

Read the following excerpt from Sons and Lovers by D. H. Lawrence:

vazorg [7]

Answer:

B. There is a sense that sources of joy can become sources of tension

Explanation:

According to Paul, his interest lies in lower desires. From the beginning, it is evident that the relationship they have is more physical. Their outdoor adventures and visits to different places are clear evidence that they had a lot of joy and fun.

However, there is tension when Lawrence waited for Monday when he was hoping to go and hold Clara. Their love, therefore, remains a cold description because they became too limited to one another and eventually lost both physicals and spiritual connections.
