Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

We are asked to identify the prepositional phrase(s) in the sentence: Your keys are hanging on the hook near the closet.

Option a: 'on the hook, near the closet' correctly lists the two prepositional phrases present in the sentence. 'on the hook' tells where the keys are hanging, and 'near the closet' tells the location relative to another object. Together, they form the two prepositional phrases that modify the noun phrase 'Your keys' or the situation described.

Option b: 'near the closet' is indeed a prepositional phrase, but it does not stand alone as the complete set of prepositional phrases in the sentence. Since the sentence contains two separate prepositional phrases, selecting only one omits part of the relevant information.

Option c: 'Your keys are hanging' is a verb phrase (a clause) that contains the subject and predicate; it is not a prepositional phrase. It describes the action, not a location expressed with a preposition.

Option d: 'on the hook' is a valid prepositional phrase, but by itself it omits the second prepositional phrase present in the sentence ('near the closet'). Since the task asks for the prepositional phrase(s) in the sentence, listing just one of them is incomplete.

In summary, the sentence contains two prepositional phrases describing location, and the complete, correct option combines both: 'on the hook, near the closet.'
