The sentance is: The walled city of Jericho was a formidable obstacle to the Israelites.

Answer 1

Sure! Here’s the sentence with parentheses around the prepositional phrase and the complete object of each preposition underlined. I'll also describe how to visually represent the arrows for you since text formatting doesn't allow for drawings.

Sentence: The walled city (of Jericho) was a formidable obstacle (to the Israelites).

• Prepositional phrases:

  • (of Jericho)
  • (to the Israelites)

• Complete objects of each preposition:

  • of Jericho: The object is Jericho.
  • to the Israelites: The object is the Israelites.

How to visually represent it:

1. Draw an arrow from the phrase (of Jericho) pointing to the word "city."
2. Draw an arrow from the phrase (to the Israelites) pointing to the word "obstacle."

This format highlights the relationships between the prepositional phrases and the words they modify.
