"Besides, what could they see but a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wild beasts and wild men-and what multitude there might be of them they knew not...they could have little solace or content in respect of any outward objects." (William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation: Book1, Chapter IX)The audience of the preceding passage is:

general

the author himself

specific to the author's government officials

specific to the author's church

Answers

Answer:

Option B. The audience of the preceding passage was the author himself.

Explanation:

"Of Plymouth Plantation" is the personal journal of William Bradford, who was the leader of the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts. The journal tells the story of the colony through a span of over 30 years and it is considered the single most important source of information about the Pilgrims.

Although the journal became a famous history source read by many, Bradford never intended to publish it himself, therefore everything that was written in it, was originally written for the author himself.

"Besides, what could they see but a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wild beasts and wild men-and what multitude there might be of them they knew not...they could have little solace or content in respect of any outward objects."

The audience of the preceding passage is: specific to the author's government officials.

In which sentence is the underlined phrase an adjective prepositional phrase? Robert Fulton’s invention of the steamboat gives him a prominent place in the history of transportation. Robert Fulton was born in 1765 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Robert Fulton sailed on the Seine River in a small paddle wheel boat. In 1807, the steamboat Clermont traveled from New York City to Albany in 32 hours.

Answers

Since you can't show underlining here, I will just discuss where in the sentences you can find an adjective prepositional phrase:
1) Robert Fulton’s invention of the steamboat gives him a prominent place in the history of transportation.
Here the prepositional phrases are: "of the seamboat" "in the history" and "of transportation"

2)Robert Fulton was born in 1765 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
no adjective prepositional phrase here!

3) Robert Fulton sailed on the Seine River in a small paddle wheel boat.
no adjective prepositional phrase here!

4) In 1807, the steamboat Clermont traveled from New York City to Albany in 32 hours. no adjective prepositional phrase here either!

The answer to your question would be that the underlined phrase that is an adjective prepositional phrase is the following one: Robert Fulton's invention of the steambot gives him a prominent place in the history of transportation.

Prepositional phrases can function in three ways: they can function as a noun, an adjective, or as an adverb. When the prepositional phrase functions as an adjective, it gives us additional information about a noun or pronoun in the sentence. It tells us which one, what kind, or how many.

If the object of the preposition is related to another noun or pronoun, then the prepositional phrase is functioning as an adjective. In this case, "the steambot" (object of the preposition) is related to the "invention" (another noun), it is the invention by Robert Fulton.

In an outline capital letters designate

When the sun and moon are near the horizon, we notice that they are distorted from a circular form into ovals, and are usually of a reddish colour. The former effect is due to the fact that the amount of refraction changes rapidly near the horizon, being greater below than above. Thus the lower edges of these bodies are raised more than the upper ones, so that the vertical diameter is diminished. The horizontal diameter is not affected, and so the sun and moon appear to be oval and not circular. Their reddish colour is due to absorption. White light is composed of all the “colours of the rainbow” —red, yellow, green, blue, violet, etc., —and of these, the green, blue, and violet (the shorter “waves”) are more readily absorbed by the atmosphere, or rather its vapours (for pure dry air exercises scarcely any absorption), than the red and yellowish rays (which are longer). THUS THIS PROCESS OF SELECTIVE ABSORPTION RESULTS IN THE LOSS OF A GREATER AMOUNT OF THE BLUE AND VIOLET RAYS, AND SO THE SUN AND MOON, WHEN SEEN LOW DOWN NEAR THE HORIZON, APPEAR REDDISH OR YELLOWISH RATHER THAN WHITE, an effect seen also when the sun shines through a “November fog.”The sentence (or section) in ALL CAPS is an example of the main idea.TrueFalse
