Answer

The answer is VP

Explanation
Option 1: NP

A noun phrase (NP) typically consists of a noun and its modifiers, such as adjectives or determiners. It functions as a subject, object, or complement in a sentence. The fragment "suddenly found a dollar" does not fit this structure as it does not center around a noun.

Option 2: VP

A verb phrase (VP) consists of a main verb and its auxiliaries, objects, or complements. It functions as the predicate of a sentence. The fragment "suddenly found a dollar" is a verb phrase because it includes the verb "found" and its object "a dollar," with "suddenly" acting as an adverb modifying the verb.
