Answer:

Adjective Phrase: of the children

Modified Noun: voices

Explanation:

An adjective phrase is a group of words that describes a noun or a pronoun in a particular sentence. This phrase can be placed both before and after the noun it describes.

Adjective phrases usually contain adjective(s), but there are some exceptions. In some cases, a preposition (as in this case) or an adverb can be used to modify the noun. In this sentence, the adjective phrase ''of the children'' points back to the noun ''voices.'' The modified noun is, therefore, ''voices''.
