I have to write the prepositional phrase, the word it modifies, and whether the phrase is an adverb or adjective
Mold-maker robots inject red-hot metal into molds.
preposition phrase into molds
modifies metal or inject?
if metal adjective
if inject adverb
Mechanical arms move systematically down an assembly line.
prep phrase is down an assembly line
modifies how they move
adverb?
"Into molds" modifies injects because it tells where.
Adjectives tells which, what kind of, or how many. Adverbs tell where, when, why, how.
Your second answer is right.
how about this one:
Arc welding is another job among the many risky jobs that robots perform.
prep phrase: among the many risky jobs
modifies: arc welding
adjective
I agree with your last answer.
To identify the prepositional phrase, word it modifies, and determine whether the phrase functions as an adverb or adjective, we can analyze the sentence structure and meaning.
In the sentence "Mold-maker robots inject red-hot metal into molds," the prepositional phrase is "into molds." This phrase modifies the verb "inject." The word "inject" is being described by the prepositional phrase, indicating the location or destination of the action. Since the prepositional phrase provides additional information about how the action is carried out, it functions as an adverb.
Next, in the sentence "Mechanical arms move systematically down an assembly line," the prepositional phrase is "down an assembly line." This phrase modifies the verb "move." It describes the manner or direction of the movement, indicating the path followed by the mechanical arms. Therefore, the prepositional phrase functions as an adverb.
