Solution
The correct options are
A under James' desk
B besides Sam's desk
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 B will justify all the above rules. 'Beside Sam's desk' is a prepositional phrase as 'beside' is the preposition and 'desk' is the object. Similarly, 'under James' desk' is also a prepositional phrase as 'under' is the preposition and 'desk' is the object. Options C and D are not prepositional phrases. Thus, options A and B are the correct answers.
