Question

Identify what is used to create the adjective phrase (in bold) in the following sentence:
“A man dressed in fine silk walked through the doors.”

  1. Adverb
  2. Prepositional phrase
  3. Infinitive phrase
  4. Noun clause

hintHint:

A prepositional phrase combines a preposition with the object of a preposition. 'The carpet on the wood floor', where carpet is the noun 'on the wood floor' is the modifying adjectival phrase.

The correct answer is: Prepositional phrase


    Adjective prepositional phrases follow the nouns they modify, unlike adjective which generally go immediately before the nouns they modify. Like adjectives, they tell which one, what kind, how much or how many. 'A man dressed in fine silk walked through the doors' here 'dressed in fine silk' is a prepositional phrase that describes 'the man'.
