Answer:
Option B because it has word story telling
Answer:- The correct answer is [B]:"The art of story telling."
Explanation:-
The given excerpt is as follows :
Since childhood Jess has been interested in the art of storytelling she would entertain her little brother and sister with Tales of Magic and adventure .She started writing stories almost as soon as she learn the alphabet to write stories .Jess relies on her colorful imagination.
Let us consider the other answer choices:-
Choice [A]: "Has been intrested "
Choice [C]: "Would entertain "
Choice [D]: "Started writing"
all are "Verb phrases " that do not contain any "noun"---- or subject or object----nor do they function as "noun or "subject" in any way.
Choice [E]: "As soon as "
It is an "Adverb Phrase " that describes "When" something is about to happen -(albiet not very specific about "When -- in this particular explanation)
Choice [B]: " The are of story telling " is the correct answer.
This is clearly a "Noun phrase " , since it begins with a noun [Although this is not required to be a noun phrase] - and is modified by a "gernid",in which the gernud is story telling. Gernuds are nouns formed from Verb forms ending in - ing -- which function as a noun.
