Which words in the sentence make up the adverb phrase? A big black insect is crawling slowly along the window edge.
a. along the window ledge
b. A big black insect
c. crawling slowly along
d. is crawling

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: A phrase means that there are no active verbs involved. So C and D cannot be correct answers. B is also incorrect, as that is the subject, a noun phrase. So the only possible solution is A, 'along the window ledge'. You answer it by asking the question - Where is it crawling? - Along the window edge. And since you are looking for the location, or a place, it has to have an adverb meaning, and since it doesn't have a verb, it is a phrase. A is the correct answer.
Answer 2
Answer: It's C - crawling slowly along. Your adverb will modify the verb - crawling - and tell you how/why it is making the action - slowly along.
