A __________ introduces a group of words that does not contain a subject or a verb.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In this question, we are asked to identify which word class introduces a group of words that lacks a subject or a verb.
Option 1: 'preposition' — This is the correct choice because a prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and often forms a group of words that does not contain its own subject or verb; the phrase functions to modify another element in the sentence. For example, in 'on the table', 'on' is the preposition and 'the table' is its object, forming a phrase without a subject or verb of its own.
Option 2: 'noun' — A noun names a person, place, thing, or idea; it does not introduce a group of words. Nouns can be the head of phrases but not the introducing element for a phrase that lacks a verb or subject on its own.
Option 3: 'coordinating conjunction' — Coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) join words, phrases, or independent clauses; they do not introduce a group of words that lacks a subject and a verb. They simply connect elements within or between clauses.
Option 4: 'relative pronoun' — Relative pronouns (who, whom, whose, which, that) begin relative clauses that provide additional information about a noun; while they introduce a clause, that clause still contains its own subject and verb, so it is not a standalone group of words without a subject or verb.
