Transcript text: Read each sentence fragment. Choose NP if the fragment is a noun phrase or VP if the fragment is a verb phrase.
Solution
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.
