Previous Year Question (PYQs)
Identify the underlined phrase in each sentence and match it with its correct type.
| Column A | Column B |
|---|---|
| A. The heavy grocery bag slipped from her hand in the kitchen. | (i) Noun Phrase |
| B. He finished his breakfast quite quickly before leaving for office. | (ii) Adjectival Phrase |
| C. The spare keys under the doormat are useful in emergencies. | (iii) Adverbial Phrase |
| D. She felt a bit nervous while waiting for her interview results. | (iv) Prepositional Phrase |
Solution
In sentence A, heavy grocery bag works as a noun phrase because it names the thing that slipped.
So,
A $\to$ (i)
In sentence B, quite quickly modifies the verb “finished”, so it is an adverbial phrase.
So,
B $\to$ (iii)
In sentence C, under the doormat begins with the preposition “under”, so it is a prepositional phrase.
So,
C $\to$ (iv)
In sentence D, a bit nervous describes the subject “She”, so it is an adjectival phrase.
So,
D $\to$ (ii)
Therefore, the correct matching is:
a-(i), b-(iii), c-(iv), d-(ii)
