Select the noun phrase. The moon in the darkness was , ____________ turning everything it touched to silver. A) a magical semicircle B) pale and lacey C) glowing eerily D) cheerfully bright

Respuesta :

chrysanthemum
The answer is A. B, C, and D all contain descriptors, but not noun phrases.

Your answer to the question above would be A, that is, "a magical semicircle" is a noun phrase. Noun phrases are phrases which have a noun or a pronoun as head of the phrase together with any dependent words before or after the head. The noun head in this sentence is premodified by the qualitative adjective "magical".

B is not correct because it is an adjectival phrase, C stands for a verb phrase and, just the same as B, D is an adjectival phrase.
