• D. The glistening floor, the popular and frequently crowded ice-skating ring, my newly bought skating shoes

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The glistening floor, the popular and frequently crowded ice-skating ring, my newly bought skating shoes

The phrase is the group of words in a sentence which forms a component in a clause.

Option D is a noun phrase. A noun phrase acts as a noun in the sentence which modifies a noun. It contains a noun and other associated words.

Option D has 'glistening' as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'floor', 'popular and frequently crowded' as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'ice-skating ring' and 'newly' as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'skating shoes'.

Thus, option D is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect.
