What is a prepositional phrase?

Question

A. a set of two or more words that together function like a noun
B. a preposition followed by its object and the object's modifiers
C. a word that precedes a noun and expresses a relationship between two parts of a clause or sentence
D. a set of two or more words that add detail to a noun and together function like an adjective

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. a preposition followed by its object and the object's modifiers.

A prepositional phrase typically consists of a preposition and its object, which may include modifiers. For example, in the phrase "in the beautiful park," "in" is the preposition, "the park" is the object, and "beautiful" is a modifier of the object.
