Question

Which of the following is true about a phrase?

• A. It contains both subject and predicate.
• B. It always forms a complete sentence.
• C. It cannot stand independently and lacks a subject-predicate unit.
• D. It expresses a complete thought.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. It cannot stand independently and lacks a subject-predicate unit.

A phrase is a group of words without a subject-predicate combination, so it doesn’t express a complete thought. Example: blue shirt or go quickly are phrases, not complete sentences.
