Place parentheses around the prepositional phrase. Underline the complete object of each preposition (some prepositions may have compound objects) and draw an arrow from each phrase to the word it modifies.

Question

The sentence is: He commanded a walk around the city.

Answer 1

To analyze the sentence "He commanded a walk around the city," we will identify the prepositional phrase and the object of the preposition, and then indicate the relationships.

1. Identify the prepositional phrase:

   • "around the city".

2. Identify the complete object of the preposition "around":

   • "the city" (with "city" as the noun, but the complete object includes the article "the" as well).

Now, we will place parentheses around the prepositional phrase, underline the complete object of the preposition, and draw an arrow to indicate what it modifies.

The modified sentence will look like this:

He commanded a walk (around the city).

The arrow would point from the phrase "around the city" to the word "walk," indicating that the phrase modifies "walk."

So altogether, we have:

He commanded a walk (around the city) → walk.
