Answer 1

The sentence that contains both an adjectival phrase and an adverbial phrase is:

The athlete made a surprisingly complete recovery from the accident, despite the doctor's prediction.

In this sentence:

• The adjectival phrase is "surprisingly complete," describing the noun "recovery."
• The adverbial phrase is "from the accident," which indicates the circumstance of the recovery.

Which sentence contains both a noun phrase and a verb phrase? (1 point)

Some dog breeds have docked tails.
You can find frogs and insects by the pond if you look closely enough.

Answer 7

The sentence that contains both a noun phrase and a verb phrase is:

You can find frogs and insects by the pond if you look closely enough.

• The noun phrase is "frogs and insects," which serves as the object of the verb "find."
• The verb phrase is "can find," which includes the modal verb "can" and the main verb "find."

Additionally, there is another verb phrase “look closely enough” in the conditional clause, but the main identification is with the first part of the sentence.
