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.

Which scenario is an example of a theme for a story
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Good always triumphs over evil in the end

Explanation:

According to the Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory, “the theme of a work is not its subject but rather its central idea, which may be stated directly or indirectly. For example, the theme of Othello is jealousy.”

There could be one or more themes in a story. To understand the idea, one could ask, what is the story trying to talk about, or what is/are the underlying message/s or concept/s or idea/s that is/are being put forward or portrayed through various characters and instances?

In light of this, let us examine each statement carefully.

<u>Dorothy is a dreamer who wants to see other places</u>

This statement essentially talks about the character, Dorothy, and not the idea of the story.  

<u>Bilbo goes on a journey and becomes a hero </u>

This statement talks about what happens with one of the characters of the text, or the story of the character, which is also not the theme, as it is hard to say what the central idea of the story could be.

<u>The story takes place in a dark, dense forest</u>

This is clearly the setting of the story, describing the location where the story unfolds.

<u>Good always triumphs over evil in the end</u>

This statement could be the central idea of a story, or its underlying message, and can be portrayed in numerous ways. Hence, this could be an example of a theme for a story.

<u><em>Note:</em></u><em> </em><em>However, it is important to note that the moral of the story isn’t necessarily its theme. The theme could very be any other idea regardless of whether that is also the moral of the story.</em>
