So, your answer is correct.
5. The taxi driver left without his change or a tip from the passenger.
- You correctly identified the prepositional phrases as "without his change" and "from the passenger."

Now, let's move to the next set of questions:
1. For breakfast, cereal, pancakes, and toast were served.

Finally, let's check the last set of questions:

3. I won't go without you.
- You correctly identified the prepositional phrase as "without you."
- The subject is "I," which you underlined once.
- The verb is "won't go," which you underlined twice.
In this sentence, "won't" is a contraction of "will not," so you should only underline "won't" as the verb phrase, not "go."
So, please correct your answer by underlining "won't" as the verb/verb phrase.
