Question 7 • *CR Expository Reading and Writing S1 [E4250OX]

Which is a phrase?

Answer
A
"because she likes soup"
B
"after the restaurant closed"
C
"my best friend"
D
"the tree fell"

Explanation

A phrase is a group of words that works as a unit but does not contain both a subject and a complete verb. “My best friend” names someone but does not say what they do, so it is a phrase. “The tree fell” is a complete sentence, while the other choices contain a subject and verb.
