Question

What does an absolute phrase modify?

  1. A noun
  2. A clause
  3. A sentence
  4. A phrase

hintHint:

An absolute phrase is a group of words that modifies an independent clause as a whole

The correct answer is: A noun


    Option 3 is correct.
    An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. So we can say that an absolute phrase modifies a sentence.
