A prepositional phrase contains a preposition and the words that it modifies. The prepositional phrases and their functions in the sentences have been identified as follows:

  • (Adjective) The recipe book <em>on the kitchen floor </em>got full of grease.
  • (Adverb)  Shaun is still sore<em> from yesterday's practice.</em>
  • (Adverb)  <em>Before his exam,</em> Joe sharpened two pencils.
  • (Adjective) The bananas<em> in that basket </em>are ripe.
  • (Adjective) The text message <em>from Ron </em>said he'd be here soon.
  • (Adverb) Feeling adventurous, we went <em>to the new taco place.</em>

When prepositional phrases modify nouns, they act as adjectives but when they modify verbs they function as adverbs. Adverbs tell us when, how, where, and the manner of an action.

Adjectives provide further descriptions of nouns. In sentence 1 for instance, the prepositional phrase modifies the noun, 'book', therefore, it functions as an adjective.

In the second sentence, the prepositional phrase modifies the verb 'sore'. So, following this pattern, the prepositional phrases have been correctly matched.

amid [387]

Answer:

The correct answer is B: when short-term rates rise and they are unable to raise

Explanation:

When you look through all the choices, option D and E are first eliminated because they used "with" to start, when in fact the essay makes use of "when", which is correct. We want to have "when" in the sentences, hence we are left with three choices; A, B, and C.

Now, looking at the connectors of A, B, and C, Option A is connected with "on the other hand", Option B is connected with "and", while Option C is connected with "correspondingly".

"On the other hand" makes no sense as a connector because there is no contrast in the statement, and this eliminates option A. Similarly, it is incorrect to use "and" and "correspondingly", as this does not flow, thus eliminating C.

The correct answer is therefore B.
