All the provided sentences contain both a noun phrase and a verb phrase. However, if you are looking for the one that clearly demonstrates this structure:
"You can find frogs and insects by the pond if you look closely enough."
- **Noun Phrase:** "frogs and insects"
- **Verb Phrase:** "can find"
Each of the statements given has both elements, but that one stands out for its variety.
