Which words in the sentence make up the adjective phrase?
Which word does it modify?
This invention also increased the number of available books.
a. This invention; modifies increased
b. the number; modifies books
c. of available books; modifies number
d. also increased; modifies number

Respuesta :

The correct answer is C. A isn't correct because "this invention" is a noun phrase, not adjective. B - "the number" is again a noun. D - "also increased" - is a verb phrase. So the only option left is "of available books", and since it modifies "number", which is a noun, it must be an adjective.
