I looked this question up and found out that the underlined phrase should be "was attending". The answer choices for this question are the following:
A. noun clause
B. verb phrase
C. adjectival phrase
D. adverbial clause
Answer:
The underlined phrase is a:
B. verb phrase
Explanation:
A verb phrase consists of a main verb or of a main verb and the auxiliary or modal verbs that accompany it. Take a look at the examples below:
- Joshua sang beautifully last night. --> verb phrase is "sang"
- Eileen has gone to Ireland. --> verb phrase is "has gone"
Thus, we can easily see that "was attending" is also a verb phrase. The main verb is "attending" and the auxiliary is "was".
I Hope this helps.
