Question

Pick out the noun phrase from the given sentence:
I saw the little boy crying.

• A. I
  
• B. I saw
  
• C. the little boy
• D. crying

Answer 1

The correct option is C the little boy

A phrase is a group of words which makes a clause without using a subject and a verb. Option C)the little boy is correct as boy is a noun here which has an adjective (little) as a pre modifier with the determiner the. The other options are wrong as I, I saw, and crying is a subject, subject + verb, and a gerund respectively which doesn't make a noun phrase. The correct answer is C)the little boy.
