This is the original sentence: <span>In a feeding frenzy, the pigeons descended upon the breadcrumbs that the kindly old man on the park bench continued to toss.
The correct answer is the prepositional phrase "on the park bench" acts as an adjectival phrase.
A is incorrect because a prepositional phrase cannot be a gerund phrase too. B is incorrect because a prepositional phrase cannot be a verb phrase as well. D is incorrect because 'to toss' is not a prepositional phrase, but rather an infinitive.

It's illogical to refuse entry to a group of people with the thought process of 'they're going to replace us'. If you disagree, then perhaps you should put yourselves in their shoes. Or, it may even be necessary to think back to a time when you <em>yourself</em> were in need of assistance or battled discrimination.

Answer:
Bud's ability has changed for the better, contributing greatly to his courage to go looking for his father.
Explanation:
When Bud went to live with the Amoses, he was very afraid to impose himself, to defend himself and to be faithful to his own wishes. In this case, he behaved with great passivity, which contributed to the Amoses being extremely abusive towards him and promoting a completely inhospitable and unpleasant environment. This allowed Bud to understand, that acting the way others wanted did not protect him from anything, but left him in a disadvantageous position and so he decided to impose himself, take courage and face everything that tried to destabilize him.
