Answer: The man is not completely well. He is a bit groggy when others first lift him at the site of the accident.
Explanation:
This is from the novel “The Night Face Up” written by Julio Cortazar.
The accident happens at the beginning of the book- lines 27-32. A young man who who owns a motorcycle and had an accident. He got carried away by his environment; the long street filled with trees, the very little traffic with spacious villas and gardens along the sidewalk.
Because he allowed himself to be carried away, he couldn’t prevent the accident with the woman because it was already too late.
After the incident, he was hurt on one knee, bleeding in his mouth and felt pain in his arm when he was lifted.

Answer and Explanation:
A prepositional phrase is constituted by a preposition and its object (complement). We can easily find it in the sentence by finding the preposition.
Now, I know we are supposed to cross the prepositional phrases out as our first step, but since that format is not supported here, I will italicize them. Please, consider them as having been crossed out:
1. Gasoline <em>from the broken fuel line </em>dripped onto the floor of the garage.
2. Elephants often form lifelong bonds <em>with members of their herd</em>.
The next step is to find and underline the subject once. Remember, subjects are the topic of the sentence. Let's do this:
1. <u>Gasoline</u> dripped onto the floor of the garage.
2. <u>Elephants</u> often form lifelong bonds.
Finally, we must underline the verbs twice. Again, that format is not supported here, so I will highlight the verbs:
1. <u>Gasoline</u> dripped onto the floor of the garage.
2. <u>Elephants</u> often form lifelong bonds.
