Question

Identify the phrase(s) in the following sentence:
There was a narrow track through the jungle.

• A. a narrow track
• B. There was a narrow
• C. through the jungle
• D. a narrow track through the jungle

Answer 1

The correct option is C through the jungle

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. 'Through the jungle' is a prepositional phrase as 'through' is the preposition and 'jungle' is the object.

Options A, B and D are not prepositional phrases.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
