Answer:

Identification of the italicized prepositional phrase as either an adjective phrase or an adverb phrase.

from Minnesota = adjective phrase.

Step-by-step explanation:

An adjective phrase simply describes or modifies a noun or pronoun in a sentence. In an adjective phrase, the adjective appears at the start, end, or middle of the phrase. To identify the adjective phrase, see whether it is placed before or after the noun or pronoun in the sentence. On the other hand, the adverb phrase differs in that an adverb modifies verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Adverbs usually end with “-ly,” for example, “slowly,” “loudly,” and “happily.”
