Yes, you are correct! Sentence B, "The criminal held up the gas station," contains a prepositional phrase. A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition (in this case, "up") and ends with a noun or pronoun (in this case, "station"). The prepositional phrase in this sentence is "up the gas station."
