Question

Which part of the sentence functions as an adjective?

the infinitive phrase “to heartily enjoy”
the participial phrase “bubbling its way”
the gerund phrase “hiking along merrily”
the prepositional phrase “beside us”

Answer 1

Answer: The participial phrase "bubbling its way"

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer to this question because at its roots, a participle is a verb that is "pretending" to be, or acting. So, a participial phrase is an adjectival phrase every time.

Answer 2

B. the participial phrase "bubbling its way"

Step-by-step explanation:

When used in conjunction with a noun, an adjective expands on the noun's meaning. Color, height, temperature, and even character traits can all play a role. The nouns that adjectives describe are typically placed right after the adjectives.
