Final answer:
Adverbial phrases do not typically describe possession; they describe the reason or purpose, time, and location or direction of the action expressed by the verb in a sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is d) Possession.
Step-by-step explanation:
Adverbial phrases typically do not describe d) Possession. Adverbial phrases are used to provide additional information about the action in a sentence by describing the reason or purpose, time, and location or direction of the action. Examples include phrases that answer when, where, why, and how something is done.
For instance, "Because she was late, Mary ran to the bus stop." The phrase "Because she was late" describes the reason for Mary’s action. Another example is "The children will play outside in the garden" where the phrase "outside in the garden" describes the location of the action.
In contrast, possession is typically described by nouns or pronouns, not adverbs. For example, in the sentence "That red car is hers," the phrase "red car" is a noun phrase indicating what is possessed, not an adverbial phrase.
