The verb phrase in a sentence typically consists of a main verb and its auxiliary or helping verbs. Let's analyze each sentence to identify the verb phrase:
A. "June was a collector of memorabilia." - In this sentence, the verb is "was," which acts as the main verb. Since there are no auxiliary verbs accompanying it, this sentence does not contain a verb phrase.
B. "The crowd roared as the bull charged." - Here, the verb phrase is "roared" (main verb) and "charged" (main verb). These two verbs together form the verb phrase.
C. "I shall be all that I am and more." - The verb phrase in this sentence is "shall be," where "shall" is the auxiliary verb and "be" is the main verb.
D. "I believed every word he said." - In this sentence, the verb phrase is "believed" (main verb). While the past tense of the verb "believe" does not require an auxiliary verb, the verb phrase can still consist of a single main verb.
Based on the analysis, the sentence that contains a verb phrase is B. "The crowd roared as the bull charged."
