Question

N the first frantic greetings lavished on himself as a noted sufferer under the overthrown system, it had been accorded to him to have Charles Darnay brought before the lawless Court, and examined. Which type of phrase is the underlined portion of the sentence?

Answer 1

C). Adverbial phrase.

Step-by-step explanation:

An adverbial clause is described as a subordinate clause that functions as an adverb within the main clause. It functions as an adverb either to modify a verb, phrase, adjective, or even any other adverb.

The highlighted part of the sentence i.e. 'before the lawless court' demonstrates 'an adverbial clause.' It is beginning with subordinating conjunction 'before' which makes it a dependent clause and it acts as an adverb to describe the verb 'brought' by providing details about the place where the action took place. Thus, option c is the correct answer.
