Question

Identify the prepositional phrase in the sentence:

Use prepositional phrases to bring complexity to your sentence structure and make your writing more interesting

a. Use prepositional phrases
c. to your sentence structure
b. make your writing
d. more interesting

Answer 1

c. to your sentence structure

Step-by-step explanation:

A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition; it also includes the object of the preposition and any modifiers of the object.

C starts with the preposition to and includes the object of the preposition structure and two modifiers of the object your, sentence.

A, B and D do not contain any prepositions.

Answer 2

The prepositional phrase in this sentence is c. "to your sentence structure", because it is postmodifying an infinitive phrase (to bring complexity), which has the same value, in this case, as a noun phrase. Besides it is composed by a preposition (to) and a noun phrase (your sentence structure).

Option a. is a verb phrase as well as option b. In the same way, letter d. is not a prepositional phrase as it is an adjective phrase used in the comparative form.
