Question

read the sentence.
we wrote in our journals for twenty minutes each day.
which type of phrase or clause is underlined in the sentence?
○ adjectival clause
○ adjectival phrase
○ adverbial clause
○ adverbial phrase

Explanation:

1. First, analyze the underlined phrase "in our journals":

• A clause must have a subject and a verb, but this phrase has neither, so it's a phrase (eliminating adjectival clause and adverbial clause).
• An adjectival phrase modifies a noun/pronoun, while an adverbial phrase modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb. Here, "in our journals" modifies the verb "wrote" (telling where we wrote), so it's an adverbial phrase.

Answer:

D. adverbial phrase
