Identify adverb phrase, then word or words the phrase modifies

1.of day lilies-planted along the fence-planted
2.of sand-full
3.for a beginner-plays
4.around the reservoir-jogs
5.with great courage-disobeyed

To identify the adverb phrase and the word or words it modifies, we can follow these steps:

1. Identify the adverb phrase: Look for a group of words that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Adverb phrases typically answer questions such as "how," "when," "where," "why," or "to what extent."

2. Find the word or words modified by the phrase: Identify the word or words that the adverb phrase is providing more information about. The adverb phrase usually appears right next to or near the word it modifies.

Let's apply these steps to each sentence:

1. "of day lilies" is the adverb phrase modifying "planted." It answers the question "what kind" (What kind of day lilies were planted?). The phrase modifies "planted."

2. "of sand" is the adverb phrase modifying "full." It answers the question "with what" (My shoes were full with what?). The phrase modifies "full."

3. "for a beginner" is the adverb phrase modifying "plays." It answers the question "for whom" (Who plays well?), but it also functions as an adverb phrase here. The phrase modifies "plays."

4. "around the reservoir" is the adverb phrase modifying "jogs." It answers the question "where" (Where does she jog?). The phrase modifies "jogs."

5. "with great courage" is the adverb phrase modifying "disobeyed." It answers the question "how" (How did Rosa Parks disobey?). The phrase modifies "disobeyed."
