Question

im practicing the trumpet with my friends in the room with the instruments,
the sentence uses ______ prepositional phrases.
circle the sentence that removes an unnecessary prepositional phrase.
were practicing trumpets with each other in the room with the instruments.
im practicing the trumpet with my friends in the instrument room.

Explanation:

• A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun (the object of the preposition).
• In the sentence "I'm practicing the trumpet with my friends in the room with the instruments", the prepositional phrases are "with my friends", "in the room", and "with the instruments".
• Now, let's analyze the two given sentences to remove an unnecessary prepositional phrase.
• In "We're practicing trumpets with each other in the room with the instruments", there is no real simplification in terms of removing an un - necessary prepositional phrase compared to the original.
• In "I'm practicing the trumpet with my friends in the instrument room", the phrase "in the instrument room" replaces "in the room with the instruments" (combining the two prepositional phrases "in the room" and "with the instruments" into a more concise form).

Answer:

• The first blank: \(3\)
• The circled sentence: "I'm practicing the trumpet with my friends in the instrument room."
