To identify the sentence in each group that contains a verb phrase, we need to understand what a verb phrase is. A verb phrase consists of a main verb and its accompanying helping verbs or modifiers. Let's examine each sentence:
A.) "African violets are an excellent choice for an indoor garden."
In this sentence, the verb phrase is "are an excellent choice." The main verb is "are," and it is accompanied by the helping verb "are" and the modifiers "an excellent choice."
B.) "These plants are relatively easy to grow."
In this sentence, the verb phrase is "are relatively easy to grow." The main verb is "are," and it is accompanied by the helping verb "are" and the modifiers "relatively easy to grow."
C.) "They require very little natural light."
In this sentence, the verb phrase is "require very little natural light." The main verb is "require," and it is not accompanied by any helping verbs or modifiers.
D.) "You can grow them with artificial lighting."
In this sentence, the verb phrase is "can grow." The main verb is "grow," and it is accompanied by the helping verb "can."
Therefore, the sentences that contain a verb phrase are A), B), and D).
There is only one answer, which is the correct answer?
My apologies for the confusion. You are correct. There is only one sentence that contains a verb phrase, which is:
B.) "These plants are relatively easy to grow."
