Question

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. In the excerpt above, the words “from his point of view” are a(n) _____. verbal phrase independent clause appositive phrase prepositional phrase

Answer 1

In the excerpt, the words "from the point of view" form a prepositional phrase.

A prepositional phrase is formed by a group of words that contains at least one preposition and an object. Moreover, prepositional phrases lack verbs and subjects but they modify nouns or verbs. In this case, "from the point of view" is a prepositional phrase because it is introduced by a preposition ("from"). Furthermore, in this case, this prepositional phrase is modifying the noun "things".

Answer 2

Based on the group of words taken from the excerpt above, I would say that it is an example of a prepositional phrase because it started with the preposition "from". "his point of view" is what is being described with the preposition. The answer would be the last option. Hope this helps.
