Question

Which of the following are examples of noun phrases? (Select the best option)

• A. the small and quiet village by the river
• B. in an exceptionally good manner
• C. brilliantly blue yet worn out
• D. in the corner of the room

Answer 1

The correct option is A the small and quiet village by the river

The phrase is the group of words in a sentence which forms a component in a clause.

Option A is a noun phrase. A noun phrase acts as a noun in the sentence which modifies a noun. It contains a noun and other associated words. Option A has 'small and quiet' as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'village'.

Thus, option A is the correct answer. Rest of the options are not the best examples of a noun phrase.
