Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

To solve this first we should know what an absolute phrase is. An absolute phrase is a phrase that modifies a noun in a sentence although it's not connected to the sentence by a conjunction. The absolute phrase follows a coma, and if it would be removed from the sentence, its meaning wouldnt be affected.

In this case, we could write it like this: He wanted a car, and he couldn't stop talking about it.

Based on the given sentence above, here is the rewritten sentence that uses an original absolute phrase. An absolute phrase is noun + participle + optional modifiers and/or objects. From "He wanted a car." it would be "Wanting a car, was him." Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
