Question

For the sentence below, type all prepositional phrases in their entirety in the space provided: Within minutes, a mammoth explosion devastated a remote area near the Tunguska River.

Answer 1

Answer:

The prepositional phrases are "Within minutes" and "near the Tunguska River".

Explanation:

Prepositional phrases are those phrases or groups of words that contain a preposition and an object, along with any word that modifies the object. The prepositional phrase starts with a preposition and can modify a noun or a verb.

In the given sentence, there are two prepositions used- "within" and "near". And these two prepositions also have objects in them.  

Thus, the prepositional phrases in the sentence are "within minutes" and "near the Tunguska River".
