Question

Identify the phrase(s) in the following sentence:
That bird flew in a swift manner.

• A. That bird flew
• B. bird flew
• C. in a swift manner.
• D. swift manner

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

in a swift manner.

Prepositional phrases are a group of words containing preposition which lacks either a verb or a subject. Such phrases always have two basic parts: object and preposition. Prepositions are mostly followed by objects.

Using option C will justify all the above rules. 'In a swift manner' is a prepositional phrase as 'in' is the preposition and 'manner' is the object.

Options A, B and D are not prepositional phrases.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
