To identify the prepositional phrase in the given sentence and determine whether it acts as an adjective or adverb, we need to understand the function of a prepositional phrase.
A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition, its object, and any modifiers of the object. It functions as an adjective when it modifies a noun or pronoun, and as an adverb when it modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb.
Let's analyze the sentence: "The children found the pictures in the book interesting."
The prepositional phrase in question is "in the book." This phrase consists of the preposition "in" and its object "the book." Since the prepositional phrase modifies the noun "pictures," it acts as an adjective.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. "in the book; adjective."
