The answer to your question would be that the underlined phrase that is an adjective prepositional phrase is the following one: Robert Fulton's invention of the steambot gives him a prominent place in the history of transportation.

Prepositional phrases can function in three ways: they can function as a noun, an adjective, or as an adverb. When the prepositional phrase functions as an adjective, it gives us additional information about a noun or pronoun in the sentence. It tells us which one, what kind, or how many.

If the object of the preposition is related to another noun or pronoun, then the prepositional phrase is functioning as an adjective. In this case, "the steambot" (object of the preposition) is related to the "invention" (another noun), it is the invention by Robert Fulton.

Since you can't show underlining here, I will just discuss where in the sentences you can find an adjective prepositional phrase:
1) Robert Fulton’s invention of the steamboat gives him a prominent place in the history of transportation.
Here the prepositional phrases are: "of the seamboat" "in the history" and "of transportation"



2)Robert Fulton was born in 1765 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
no adjective prepositional phrase here!

3) Robert Fulton sailed on the Seine River in a small paddle wheel boat.
no adjective prepositional phrase here!

4) In 1807, the steamboat Clermont traveled from New York City to Albany in 32 hours. no adjective prepositional phrase here either!

Which lines in this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" show the use of flashback?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
    Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow
    From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
            Nameless here for evermore

Select the correct answer.
Alenkasestr [34]

The word "trailblazer" shapes the central idea by supporting the idea that the men pioneered both in their building of a trail and cross-cultural relationships.

<h3>Why is the word "trailblazer" important?</h3>

In the passage we are analyzing here, the word "trailblazer" is used with more than one meaning, as the author indicates by saying "in many senses of the word" in parentheses.

What the author means by "trailblazers" is that those men were indeed blazing trails in the wilderness, that is, creating a path a making it clear for others to follow. However, that is not all there is to it. A trailblazer is also someone who is a pioneer in fields of knowledge, for example.

In the passage, the author also means that those men were blazing figurative trails, in the sense that they built cross-cultural relationships. With this in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.

What is the best meaning for retreated as it is used in paragraph four? 1. The act or process of withdrawing, especially from so
daser333 [38]

Answer:

1) The act or process of withdrawing, especially from something hazardous, formidable, or unpleasant.

Explanation:

We can see by how it's used in the passage that it's used as a verb, not as a noun, so we can eliminate 2. There's no military forces here, and this dog isn't retiring, so I'd say your best bet is 1, since the dog is withdrawing/retreating from the whip.
