Here's how to identify the prepositional phrase and underline the complete object of the preposition in the sentence:

The Lord solved the problem (with an unusual decree).

  • Underline the complete object of the preposition "with": an unusual decree.
  • Draw an arrow from the prepositional phrase to the word it modifies (in this case, "solved").

So, it looks like this:

  • Prepositional Phrase: (with an unusual decree)
  • Underlined Complete Object: an unusual decree
  • Arrow to the word "solved":
The Lord solved the problem → (with an unusual decree)
                     ↑
                     an unusual decree
