How is a phrase different from a clause? (1 point)

Question

• A phrase always modifies an entire sentence.
• A phrase is always at the end of a sentence.
• A phrase lacks a subject and a verb.
• A phrase can stand on its own.

Answer 1

The correct statement is: A phrase lacks a subject and a verb.

A phrase is a group of words that does not contain both a subject and a verb, while a clause typically includes both a subject and a verb, and can express a complete thought (independent clause) or be part of a larger sentence (dependent clause).
