Answer:
1. Infinitive
2. Preposition
3. Appositive
4. Gerund
5. Participle
Explanation:
1. An infinitive phrase combines an infinitive word, (e.g. to) and a verb, modifier or complement. In the first sentence, To look is the infinitive phrase.
2. Prepositional phrases contain a preposition, a noun or pronoun object of the preposition and a modifier.
3. The appositive is placed before a noun so as to provide further information about it. In sentence 3, on the table tells us where the plants were situated.
4. A gerund is a noun formed from a verb, with the addition of -ing. A gerund phrase is a gerund with additional words that can serve as the noun in the sentence. Catching the ball is the gerund phrase in sentence 4.
5. A participle phrase looks like a gerund phrase but the difference is that the participle phrase modifies a verb. In sentence 5, the participle phrase modifies the verb, took.
An abstract concept is difficult to understand because of the unspecific character that is obtained from it.
The sentence that most effectively translates the abstract concept into a mental picture is option C. (Rumors) Whispers od doubt filled the empty halls like the reek of rotten eggs.
