Which one of the following fragments is a prepositional phrase?a. Listening to her heart
b. During the darkest night
c. Going to Cleveland
d. Completed her assignment

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

During the darkest night

During is a preposition. It gives the relation between night and whatever is happening. A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends with a noun. All of the other options begin with action verbs, things you can do. These are not prepositional phrases.
Answer 2
Answer: A prepositional phrase has to start with a preposition, and the only option here which starts with one is B, 'during the darkest night', where 'during' is a preposition.

How are
Mary Maloney and The Landlady different from each other?

Answers

answer: can you be more specific with your question?
Answer and Explanation:
The difference between Mary Maloney and the Landlady is that Mary commits her murder on impulse and out of emotion, while the Landlady is a serial... The main difference between the two ladies lies in the nature of their respective acts of murder. Mrs. Maloney kills her husband in a sudden, unprecedented fit of rage after he tells her he's leaving. There's nothing premeditated about Mary's fatal assault upon her husband. The landlady, on the other hand, commits several acts of premeditated murder upon various young men who come to stay at her bed and breakfast. We're never sure exactly why she does this; her lack of obvious motive makes her crimes all the more chilling and disturbing. Perhaps she's gaining revenge for something bad that happened to her many years ago, perhaps she has mental health issues, or perhaps her unhealthy obsession with taxidermy has just got a little out of hand. We will never know. But in any case, the landlady's murders are her way of imposing herself upon the world, a highly unconventional means of expressing her eccentric personality. Mary, on the other hand—a meek, unassertive woman—is reacting to the sudden intrusion into her life of a brutal, unforgiving world, one where people such as herself are often hurt and destroyed. Yet by cleverly covering up her murderous act, Mary quickly learns to assert herself, albeit in a way that's much more conventional than that of the landlady.
