4. Which one of these sentences contains a prepositional phrase?


A. Trolls live under bridges; elves do not.
B. Where did you find the papers that I lost?
C. You may think otherwise, but what I tell you is true.
D. To be, or not to be: that is the question.

I'm thinking A?

and you are correct.

Prepositions normally indicate location, so I would go with A as well.

I hope this helps! :)

Sorry, I didn't see your post, Steve.

5. Which words are italicized?

6. I would think D.

Usually, it is an adverb or adverbial phrase that comes between to and the verb." ~Wiki-pedia

7. Which words are italicized?

Italicized words for # 5...

A.Resting on the sea bottom
B.Arriving ten minutes late
C.Flying beneath the cloud
D.Not knowing the danger

5. By knowing which words are italicized, I would think B as the answer. You would need a "who", and this sentence is missing the "who". The store can't arrive late, so that also doesn't make sense as well.
