Question

Select the absolute phrase in the following sentence:

Music blaring, the car sped down the highway on the way to the beach.
A the car
B to the beach
C sped down the highway
D Music blaring

Answer 1

"An absolute phrase is a modifier (quite often a participle), or a modifier and a few other words, that attaches to a sentence or a noun, with no conjunction. An absolute phrase cannot contain a finite verb."

It is C, "sped down the highway". It doesn't need a conjuction to connect it to the end of a sentence - "we sped down down the highway", for example.

Answer 2

ok yea thanks for explaining as well!

Answer 3

I disagree....the absolute phrase is " music blaring ".
