Answer:

The answer seems to be D.

Explanation:

I cannot explain why D is correct, but I can tell you why the others are wrong.

A: Choice A is a run on sentence. It doesn't have the word "by" between "team...tackling..." If it had the word "by" then it would've been up for consideration, however it would still be wrong since there is no comma to prevent this phrase from becoming a run-on sentence.

B: The beginning of the sentence starts with a dependent clause and ends in an independent clause. This is completely incorrect, and an easy choice to eliminate when you read this.

C: Again, this sentence is really jumbled up. it is a combination of a comma splice and it doesn't have the word "by" between the words I mentioned in the explanation for Choice A. I'd also say that this sentence starts with a sentence fragment. Either way, this choice is most likely wrong.

I'm sorry I could not give you an answer with 100% surity. But, I really am confident that the answer is D. Try it out, comment, and if it works? Rate it and drop a thanks :)

"I believed every word he said." Is this sentence a verb phrase
Talja [164]
No, this sentence is not a verb phrase, because the subject is not part of the verb phrase here.

Here's why. The subject is "I," the verb is "believed," and everything following the verb ("every word he said") forms the object of the verb. By definition, a verb phrase is one verb + its various objects or modifiers. Here, "every word he said" operates as one single object (it's not just one word, it's EVERY word, and it's not just every word, it's every word HE said). But the subject is separate from the verb phrase, so the entire sentence is not a verb phrase (it's a subject + a verb phrase).
