Question

Which underlined phrase is a prepositional phrase?

Test-takers were asked not to use their notes, books, or calculators.
Before passing out the test, the teacher asked students to close their books.
Neither of the tests this week had questions about the Pythagorean theorem.
The teacher and the students thought that the test took longer than expected.

Answer 1

2nd one because of the word before

Answer 2

Answer:

There are actually multiple answers to this question. Since I would like to work for Brainliest, I will put it this way:

Explanation:

above, across, after, at, around, before, behind,

below, beside, between, by, down, during, for, from,

in, inside, onto, of, off, on, out, through,

to, under, up, with.

These are some examples of prepositions. This is something to look for in a prepositional phrase. Let's take a look at each sentence and break them down.

1) "Test-takers were asked not to use their notes, books, or calculators." To is a preposition, so therefore, this is a prepositional phrase.

2) "Before passing out the test, the teacher asked students to close their books." Before and to are prepositions, so therefore, this is a prepositional phrase.

3) About is a preposition, so this is a prepositional phrase.

4) No prepositions, so this is not a prepositional phrase.

I hope this helps! Have a good day!
