B is a prepositional phrase as it contains a prepositon as the head (throughout) followed by an NP (nominal phrase) which functions as the object.
A, C and D are not phrases but sentences. Consequently, they are composed of two parts: a subject and a predicate. For example, in "but they never stopped", the personal pronoun "they" functions as the subject of the sentence, that is, it's what the sentence is about. The rest of the sentence is the predicate, it tells something about the subject.
A is grammatically incorrect as it stands for an incomplete sentence. It contains the subject (they) and a main verb functioning as the head of the verbal phrase but it does not have the subordinate clause which should followed after the verb for the sentence to be considered correct. On the contrary, D is gramatically correct for it is a complete sentence. However, it is not a prepositional phrase because it is not a phrase but a sentence. The pronoun "it" is the head of the phrase and it is not a preposition. The verbal phrase "was a happy time" stands for the predicate, making the sentence grammatically correct. Said VP (verbal phrase) takes a nominal phrase as the object ("a happy time").
To sum up, prepositional phrases are made up of a preposition functioning as the head and its object. It can also contain modifiers. They take a nominal phrase as the object. That is why B is the correct answer. "Throughout" is the head of the PP (prepositional phrase) taking the nominal phrase "his life" as the object.
The first one is the goat
The second is shark
I would say this character is round (option C) because "his personality, his background, motives and some other features are delineated by the author". He presents a complex personality like real people. It seems that he has different "layers" with contradictory situations and some transformations. However, his personality seems inconsistent. For example, He bits Aileen, then he treats her well because he knows the truth but he ends up killing her dog.
It would be "traverse the lane in record time"
The correct answer is Complex
Explanation:
Complex sentences always contain at least two clauses: one dependent clause and one independent clause. Dependent clauses can be identified because they do not express a complete idea and therefore need from an independent clause. Besides this, in a complex sentence, it is common to find subordinating conjunctions such as before, because, although, unless, if, etc. that link the two types of clauses.
The sentence "Although I'll allow time off, the traffic is terrible" is a complex sentence because it contains a dependent clause "Although I'll allow time off" and one independent clause "the traffic is terrible". Moreover, the subordinating conjunction "although" shows the clauses do not have the same level of importance but one depends on the other to be complete.
