Question

Identify up to one prepositional phrase.

In the next three days, the group of travelers will be traversing a thousand miles.

Select one:

a. a thousand miles

b. no prepositional phrase

c. group

d. of travelers

Answer 1

Answer:

d. of travelers

Explanation:

Prepositional phrases consist of a preposition, an object and sometimes words which modify that object. In this case, the preposition of is followed by an object, people. Thus, the prepositional phrase of people functions as an adjective phrase, since it describes the group that will be traversing a thousand miles in the next three days.
