Before answering the question let us analize what a phrase and a clause are? a clause is a sentence that contains a subject and a predicate. Every sentence must have at least one main clause. <u>A main clause contains an independent subject and a verbal structure and expresses a complete thought</u>.

There are two different kinds of clauses: first,"Dependent" clauses are sentences that cannot stand alone and do not convey full meaning, for example: “When I go rock climbing" this sentence has a subject and a verb, but its meaning raises questions, it does not have a complete idea of its own. Second "Independent" clauses are sentences that can stand alone as a full sentence and convey a full meaning, for example: "I prefer climbing in landscapes that present a challenge."

A phrase is a group of words that can lack either the subject or the verb and cannot stand alone and do not convey full meaning because it lacks one of the two that are essential in a sentence, for example: "going places", "my brother in a good mood"

The main and most important difference between a clause and a phrase is that a clause if it is independent is considered a full sentence, whereas a phrase could never be considered one.

The group of words:

"<em>The support beams beneath the abandoned jetty." </em>

<u>Is a Phrase for it lacks a predicate</u>

Which word in the following sentence is modified by an adverb?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

A. Crawled

Explanation:

You are given the sentence:

The baby crawled slowly toward her favorite toy.

Your <u>subject/direct object</u> in this sentence, is the baby. Next you ask yourself, <em>what is the baby doing?</em> Crawling. This is your <u>verb</u>. The next thing to do, is recognize your adverb, which in this case, would be the word slowly. This would be a descriptive adverb, that <u>many would mistake for an adjective</u>, but looking into the sentence, we see that the adjective is the word, favorite, as it <u>modifies the noun</u>, toy. An <u>adverb </u>modifies a <em>noun</em>, a <em>verb</em>,  an <em>adjective</em>, or <em>another adverb</em>. The word slowly in this sentence is modifying the verb crawled.

How did the baby crawl? Slowly.
