Answer 3

I think you need to go back into your text and that website and read those explanations and examples again! Study them. Study = memorize!

Examples:
<u>He played for the Boston Red Sox.</u>
preposition = for
object of preposition = Boston Red Sox
prepositional phrase = for the Boston Red Sox

<u>She wanted to dance in the ballet.</u>
preposition = in
object of preposition = ballet
prepositional phrase = in the ballet
