To identify the sentence in each group that contains a verb phrase, we need to understand what a verb phrase is. A verb phrase consists of a main verb and any helping verbs or auxiliary verbs that accompany it.

Let's analyze each sentence:

A.) "Too much light will actually harm the plants."

In this sentence, the verb phrase is "will harm." "Will" is the helping verb and "harm" is the main verb.

B.) "It makes the leaves turn pale or yellowish."

The verb phrase in this sentence is "makes turn." "Makes" is the main verb and "turn" is the verb.

C.) "The plant actually shrinks under the light."

The verb phrase in this sentence is "actually shrinks." "Shrinks" is the main verb, and "actually" is an adverb modifying it.

D.) "Therefore, keep them in a shaded place."

This sentence does not have a verb phrase. The word "keep" is a verb, but it does not have any accompanying helping verb or auxiliary verb.

Based on this analysis, the sentence with a verb phrase is sentence B: "It makes the leaves turn pale or yellowish."
