Question

The president of the company was attending the mandatory sales meeting.

Which type of phrase or clause is underlined in the sentence?
noun clause
verb phrase
adjectival phrase
adverbial clause

Answer 1

Which words are underlined? Please paste the sentence again showing the underline (or tell me the underlined segment).

If the underlined part is:
- "was attending" — that's a verb phrase.
- "of the company" — that's a prepositional phrase functioning as an adjectival phrase (it modifies "president").
- "The president of the company" or "the mandatory sales meeting" — those are noun phrases (not a noun clause).
There is no adverbial clause in the sentence.
