Study this webpage completely and carefully. Differentiate between what adverb phrases do and what adjective phrases do. Then re-think all this.

Thank you for getting back to me so soon!

4. C
5. B

Am I correct this time? Thank you for your time. :-)

To identify the sentence in which the prepositional phrase acts as an adverb, we need to determine which sentence describes the action or modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb. Let's analyze the options:

A. Last Evening, Anne suffered from a headache.
This sentence includes a prepositional phrase ("from a headache"), but it describes the noun "Anne" and does not modify a verb, adjective, or adverb.

B. The door to the attic was left open.
The prepositional phrase "to the attic" in this sentence functions as an adjective because it describes the noun "door."

C. Mr. Frank discussed the problem of noise in the annex.
In this sentence, the prepositional phrase "in the annex" modifies the noun "problem" and does not function as an adverb.

D. He bought a drink for Mr. Dussel.
The prepositional phrase "for Mr. Dussel" in this sentence modifies the verb "bought" and answers the question "who did he buy the drink for?" Therefore, this sentence is the correct choice as the prepositional phrase acts as an adverb.

Now let's determine the sentence in which the prepositional phrase acts as an adjective:

A. In the morning, we rested in bed.
The prepositional phrase "in the morning" in this sentence modifies the verb "rested" and describes when the action took place. It does not act as an adjective.

B. We bought the cookies in the red package.
The prepositional phrase "in the red package" modifies the noun "cookies" and acts as an adjective by describing the location or state of the noun.

C. During the day, Peter played with the cat.
The prepositional phrase "during the day" provides information about when Peter played with the cat and doesn't function as an adjective.

D. My sister is good at dancing.
There is no prepositional phrase in this sentence.

Based on the explanations above, the correct answer for the prepositional phrase acting as an adjective is option B: "We bought the cookies in the red package."

It's great that you want to understand the concepts and ensure you get a good grade! Remember that utilizing resources like study guides, textbooks, and class notes, in addition to asking questions, can further enhance your understanding. Keep up the good work!

PS

Often (but not always) placement in the sentence will help you decide. Examples:

...a drink for Mr. Dussel
("for Mr. Dussel" is right next to "drink," a noun; it's also telling who will get that drink. That's why it's an adjective use of the prep phrase.)

... the problem of noise
(Again, the prepositional phrase "of noise" is right next to the noun it modifies. Therefore, it's an adjective use.)

You're welcome.

4 - incorrect

5 - correct

That's two incorrect answers for 4; please don't post about this again, but go back and read and re-read that webpage, especially where they explain the differences between adjective uses and adverb uses.
