Read the sentence.We wrote in our journals for twenty minutes each day.Which type of phrase or clause is underlined in the sentence?

Answer
A
adjectival clause
B
adjectival phrase
C
adverbial clause
D
adverbial phrase

Explanation

“For twenty minutes each day” tells how long and how often we wrote, so it modifies the verb “wrote” and functions adverbially. It has no subject and verb of its own, so it is a phrase rather than a clause. The correct choice is “adverbial phrase.”
