• C. is dead
• D. into the charger

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

in my phone
into the charger

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 options A and D will justify all the above rules. 'In my phone' is a prepositional phrase as 'in' is the preposition and 'phone' is the object. Similarly, 'into the charger' is also a prepositional phrase as 'into' is the preposition and 'charger' is the object.

Options B and C are not prepositional phrases.

Thus, options A and D are the correct answers.
