:) Thank you.
You're welcome!
To determine the label that best describes the underlined word group, we need to understand the function of the phrase "by the fire" in the sentence.
An adjective phrase modifies a noun or pronoun, providing more information about it. In this case, "by the fire" does not describe or modify any noun or pronoun, so it is not an adjective phrase.
An appositive phrase renames or identifies a noun or pronoun that comes immediately before or after it. There is no noun or pronoun before or after "by the fire" in the sentence, so it is not an appositive phrase.
A misplaced modifier is an error that occurs when a phrase or word is not placed near the word it is intended to modify, resulting in confusion or ambiguity. "By the fire" is placed right after "huddled together," clearly indicating that it is modifying that verb phrase, so it is not a misplaced modifier.
Therefore, the label that best describes the underlined word group "by the fire" is an adverb phrase. It modifies the verb "huddled," indicating where the campers were huddled together.
