Answer:
all answers are given in the explanation below.
Explanation:
In the question, we have been asked to identify the phrases and clauses. First, we have to differentiate between what is a phrase and what is a clause.
A phrase is something that cannot exist independently. And a clause is something that has a meaning of its own because it has both a subject and a verb.
a. the sleeping lion - This is a phrase as it is not making any sense on its own.
b. cool breeze swaying the leaves - It is a clause as it has both a subject and a verb.
c. Tick the answers.- This is a clause too as it has a meaning of its own.
d. You look tired today.- This is also a clause because it has both a subject and a verb.
e. Where is the atlas?- It is a clause as it has both a subject and a verb.
f. Mark these on the map. - This is a clause too as it has a meaning of its own.
g. The sniggering boys - This is a phrase as it is not making any sense on its own.
h. She does not know anything.- It is a clause as it has both a subject and a verb.
i. when she took her seat - This is an incomplete sentence, so it must be a phrase.
j. beyond the blue horizon - This is a phrase as it is not making any sense on its own.
