Question

The policeman ran and leaped at the assailant and apprehended him.

Which of the following is a prepositional phrase from the sentence above?

a. and leaped
b. at the assailant
c. apprehended him
d. The policeman ran

Answer 1

I think it is "apprehended him" since it ends with a noun and starts with a erb

Answer 2

b. at the assailant. We know this because prepositions are usually something a mouse can do, ex: the mouse was ON the box. At is our preposition, and prepositional phrases always end in a noun.
