@beccaboo333
Do you know what a modifying phrase is?
no
i think it is a word that is in the sentence that can be taken out and the sentence will still make sense
A modifying phrase is one which is used to make the meaning of a word or group of words more specific. It is placed next to the word or group of words which have to be modified thus describing them through additional information such as how, where and when something was done. A modifying phrase is used in written text and in speech to correct misplaced words. ~ask
so you can take out the modifier or modifying phrase and it will still make sense?
I believe so.
so then the answer is then?
So I'd agree with it being "only"
i mean only
