To identify the choice that best describes the underlined phrase in the sentence "Did you drive to the grocery store today?", we need to understand what the underlined phrase is. In this case, the underlined phrase is "to the grocery store."
To determine the correct choice, we can analyze the function of the underlined phrase in the sentence.
Let's review the options:
1. Adjective phrase: An adjective phrase modifies a noun or pronoun. It provides additional information about the noun or pronoun in the sentence.
2. Adverb phrase: An adverb phrase modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb. It provides additional information about the action, quality, or manner of the verb, adjective, or adverb in the sentence.
3. Appositive phrase: An appositive phrase renames or identifies a noun or pronoun. It provides additional information about the noun or pronoun in the sentence.
In the given sentence, the underlined phrase "to the grocery store" is modifying the verb "drive." It tells us the destination of the action. It does not modify a noun or rename a noun, so it cannot be an adjective phrase or an appositive phrase.
Therefore, the correct choice is: adverb phrase.
