Question

which best identifies the preposition and the object of the preposition in the sentence. a great big praying mantis climbed through the window a. preposition, a; object of the preposition, praying mantis b. preposition, great; object of the preposition, big c. preposition, through; object of the preposition, window d. preposition, window; object of the preposition, through

Answer 1

Given that the only preposition in the sentence is the word through, the correct answer has to be C. preposition, through; object of the preposition, window.
A isn't correct because a isn't a preposition, it is an article. B is incorrect because great is an adjective. D is incorrect because window is a noun.
