Question

Which word does the underlined adjectival phrase modify?

The stray animals at the shelter now need good homes.

A.
animals

B.
stray

C.
homes

D.
now

Answer 1

I believe the answer is stray. The word animals is a noun and an adjectival phrase comes before or after the noun. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The answer would be homes. The phrase modifies what needs a home now.
Have a great day!
