Instructions

Read the sentences below carefully and identify the nature of phrase/clause used in the underlined section of the sentences.

Question 19

He failed in spite of his best efforts

The first step is to analyze whether the underlined portion is a phrase or clause. The underlined portion does not have any verb. Therefore, the underlined portion is a phrase. The underlined portion explains how the person failed (despite his best efforts). Since the underlined portion acts as an attribute to the verb, the underlined portion is an adverb phrase. Therefore, option B is the right answer.
