Answer:
Explanation:
Find the subject. Who is doing something? Ricky. Ricky what? Ricky was. That is a complete sentence and it makes sense. Ricky going does not make sense. So, Ricky was. What does very unsteady describe? It describes how Ricky was. It describes the verb, making "very steady" an adverbial phrase. A prepositional phrase describes a noun. Nothing in this sentence describes Ricky. "Going" is a helping verb. Ricky was going. "Down the staircase backward," describes how Ricky was going, making it another adverbial phrase.
You didn't say what kind of phrase. I hope I helped.
I’m assuming you’re asking what that means. It means that you should always do things the kind way, even if it doesn’t exactly line up with what should be done. For example, I’m sure you’ve seen the movie Aladdin. Aladdin was a beggar and didn’t have food, so he stole. The guards wanted to kill him, which was the right way to handle things. However, the kind way to have settled this was to let him have the bread because he was starving.
