Question

Which words in the sentence are the adverb phrase?

'That old lighthouse has warned sailors for many decades.'
A. has warned
B. for many decades
C. has warned sailors
D. That old lighthouse​

Answer 1

(B) for many decades

Step-by-step explanation:

The adverb phrase in the sentence "That old lighthouse has warned sailors for many decades" is for many decades.

Adverb phrases modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

In this case, the adverb phrase for many decades modifies the verb has warned. It tells us how long the lighthouse has been warning sailors.

The other words in the sentence are either the subject (that old lighthouse), the verb (has warned), or the direct object (sailors).

Therefore, the answer is (B) for many decades.
