Question

Identify the prepositional phrase(s) in the following sentence:
Have they found water on Mars?

• A. on Mars?
• B. Have they
• C. found water
• D. Mars

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

on Mars?

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 A will justify all the above rules. 'On Mars' is a prepositional phrase as 'on' is the preposition and 'Mars' is the object.

Options B, C, and D are not prepositional phrases.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.
