Question

Identify the phrase(s) in the following sentence:
The king fought the war in a brave manner.

• A. The king fought the war
• B. The king fought
• C. in a brave manner
• D. brave manner

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Prepositional phrases are a group of words containing preposition which lacks either a verb or a subject. Such phrases always have two basic parts: object and preposition. Prepositions are mostly followed by objects.

Using option C will justify all the above rules. 'In a brave manner' is a prepositional phrase as 'in' is the preposition and 'manner' is the object.

Options A, B and D are not prepositional phrases.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
