A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun called the object of the preposition. The preposition shows a relationship between the object of the preposition and another word in the sentence.
In this case, the correct answer is option 'C', "Under the table." Let's break down the prepositional phrase:
1. Preposition: "Under"
- The word "under" is a preposition that shows the relationship between the object and another word in the sentence.
2. Object of the preposition: "the table"
- "The table" is the noun phrase that acts as the object of the preposition "under."
Now, let's analyze the other options to understand why they are not prepositional phrases:
- Option 'A': "The dog barked loudly."
- This sentence does not contain a prepositional phrase. It is a simple sentence with a subject ("The dog") and a predicate ("barked loudly").
- Option 'B': "She ran quickly."
- Similarly, this sentence does not have a prepositional phrase. It is also a simple sentence with a subject ("She") and a predicate ("ran quickly").
- Option 'D': "Jumping high."
- This is not a prepositional phrase either. It is a verb phrase that includes the present participle form of the verb "jumping" and the adjective "high."
Therefore, the only option that fits the definition of a prepositional phrase is option 'C', "Under the table."
