Answer:

Absolute

Prepositional

Participial

Step-by-step explanation:

A subordinate CLAUSE (not phrase) contains a subject and verb, is introduced by a conjunction, and supports the main clause.

An absolute phrase combines a noun and a participle. (e.g. shining stars, crossed arms)

A prepositional phrase is a modifying phrase consisting of a preposition and its object. (on the table, beside the stairs)

A participial phrase will begin with a present or past participle and will always function as an adjective, describing a nearby noun or pronoun.

(e.g. PUTTING ON HER BOOTS, she trudged into the snow.)
