To identify a prepositional phrase in a sentence, you need to look for a word that shows a relationship between other words in the sentence. In the given sentence, "in the playoffs" is the prepositional phrase because "in" is the preposition and "the playoffs" is the object of the preposition.
To find a synonym for a word, you can use a thesaurus or consider words that have similar meaning. In this case, the synonym for "sternly" is "seriously".
To find an antonym for a word, you can again use a thesaurus or think of a word with the opposite meaning. The antonym for "elaborate" is "plain".
In the sentence "____ book I'm talking about is the one about WWII," the correct article to complete the sentence is "the". This is because the sentence refers to a specific book.
To choose the correct adverb to complete the sentence "Folding clothes is my _______ favorite chore," you need to consider the word that best fits the context. In this case, "least" is the correct adverb as it means the lowest in rank or importance.
Your answers are correct as follows:
14. if we don't (prepositional phrase)
15. seriously (synonym for sternly)
16. plain (antonym for elaborate)
17. the (correct article)
18. least (correct adverb)
