1 answer:

4 0

Prospero tells Miranda, his daughter, as he is creating a storm that tosses a ship, that he used to be the duke of Milan and consequently Miranda was a princess. Indeed it is Prospero who creates the storm. The fact that they have been on an island for a long time lacking interaction with other people has made Miranda lack a judgment of her own. Propspero tells that he was victim of usurpation of his kingdom from Antonio, his brother. He is teaching his daughter that not all people are kind on the world and that Antonio was not a noble person.

denis-greek [22]

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".
