The explanations provided above are not grammatically correct. Here is a corrected version:
In the sentence "Teenagers watch it 179 minutes a day," 'a day' is a prepositional phrase that provides additional information about when or how often the action of watching occurs. It functions as an adverbial phrase modifying the verb 'watch'. Additionally, '179 minutes' is a noun phrase that serves as the object of the verb 'watch'. Together, these adverbial and noun phrases provide more details about the action being described, forming a complete sentence.
