Which two phrases in the passage are verb phrases?

Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage:

Medicare offers prescription drug coverage to help senior citizens and others who need medical assistance get the prescription drugs they need, under Part D of the program (or Part C if you are enrolled in the Medicare Advantage Plan). Everyone with Medicare can join a drug plan to get this coverage. Not all Medicare drug plans are the same, however. Look for the "Medicare Approved" seal on drug discount cards to make sure you are getting the best deal.

Answer 2

The correct answers are letter B and E. These two options are phrases in the passage that are verb phrases. In letter B, the verb phrase “are enrolled” is made up of the verb “are” plus the adjective “enrolled” functioning as Subject Complement. In letter E, the verb phrase “are getting” is made up of the construction of the present progressive tense (the present form of the verb “to be” plus the “-ing” form of the main verb). Letter A is an incorrect answer, since “help senior citizens” is part of an infinitive clause functioning as an adverbial of purpose (to help senior citizens). Letter C is an incorrect answer, since “Everyone with Medicare” is a nominal clause functioning as Subject. Letter D is also an incorrect answer, since “get this coverage” is part of an infinitive clause functioning as an adverbial of purpose (“to get this coverage”).
