To identify the prepositional phrases in these sentences, we need to locate words that begin with a preposition and are followed by an object. Let's break down each sentence:

1. "When the servers arrived, Zach gave them the information on today's specials."
- The prepositional phrase in this sentence is "on today's specials." The preposition is "on," and the object is "today's specials."

2. "He talked enthusiastically about the fresh blackberries."
- The prepositional phrase in this sentence is "about the fresh blackberries." The preposition is "about," and the object is "the fresh blackberries."

3. "'They look fantastic! I want to serve them with shortcake.'"
- There are two prepositional phrases in this sentence:
- "with shortcake" is the first prepositional phrase. The preposition is "with," and the object is "shortcake."
- "in front of everyone" is the second prepositional phrase. The preposition is "in front of," and the object is "everyone."

So, the prepositional phrases identified in the sentences are:
1. on today's specials
2. about the fresh blackberries
3. with shortcake
4. in front of everyone
