Which sentence contains both a noun phrase and a verb phrase? a the pigeons have not landed on my neighbor’s balcony in a long time. b some dog breeds have docked tails. some dog breeds have docked tails. c he sat on my grandmother’s favorite armchair. d you can find frogs and insects by the pond if you look closely enough

Answer 1

All the options provided contain both a noun phrase and a verb phrase. However, if we are to identify one, option d stands out:

d) You can find frogs and insects by the pond if you look closely enough.

In this sentence, "you" is the noun phrase (subject), and "can find frogs and insects by the pond" is the verb phrase. The phrase "look closely enough" also functions as a subordinate clause.

Each sentence provided does contain both noun and verb phrases, but d is most clear in illustrating this structure.
