Question

Choose the best word or phrase to complete the sentence.
... was a strong wind last night.
a. There
b. Here
c. This​

Answer 1

Explanation:

But noun phrases can also include:

determiners: Those houses are very expensive.

quantifiers: I've lived in a lot of houses.

numbers: My brother owns two houses.

adjectives: I love old houses.

These parts of the noun phrase are called premodifiers because they go before the noun.

We use premodifiers in this order:

determiners and quantifiers > numbers > adjectives + NOUNS

For example:

Determiners and quantifiers Numbers Adjectives NOUNS

The six children

Our young children

Six young children

These six young children

Some young children

All those six young children

Their many young children

Postmodifiers

Other parts of a noun phrase go after the noun. These are called postmodifiers.

Postmodifiers can be:

prepositional phrases:

a man with a gun

the boy in the blue shirt

the house on the corner

–ing phrases :

the man standing over there

the boy talking to Angela

relative clauses :

the man we met yesterday

the house that Jack built

the woman who discovered radium

an eight-year-old boy who attempted to rob a sweet shop

that clauses. These are very common after nouns like idea, fact, belief, suggestion:

He's still very fit, in spite of the fact that he's over eighty.

She got the idea that people didn't like her.

There was a suggestion

Answer 2

Answer:

Correct option -

a. There

Explanation:

There was a strong wind last night.

Here is used in a situation where a person is close to the object (noun). 'There' is opposite of here in the sense that 'there' is used when the noun is away from the person. To specify the a geographical location (place), there is used.

Similarly, 'this' is used when the object is very close to the person.
