Question

question 19
find the prepositional phrase(s):
under a rock, my sister and i found a snake sitting next to a big bug.
□ under a rock
□ snake sitting
□ to a big bug
question 20
find the prepositional phrase(s):
in the hot oven the birthday cake was rising.
□ in the hot
□ in the hot oven
□ was rising

Explanation:

A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition, followed by an object (and modifiers). For Question 19: "under" and "to" are prepositions, so their phrases are valid. "snake sitting" is a noun-participle phrase, not prepositional. For Question 20: "in" is a preposition, and the full phrase includes its object "oven" and modifier "hot"; "in the hot" is incomplete, "was rising" is a verb phrase.

Answer:

Question 19:

• under a rock
• to a big bug

Question 20:

• in the hot oven
