• Context: Lear demands that his three daughters publicly declare their love for him.

• Goneril and Regan: Give elaborate, flattering speeches to win his favor.

• Cordelia: Refuses to participate in the dishonest display.

  • Her response: "Nothing, my lord."

  • She explains she loves him truly and appropriately: "according to my bond; no more nor less."

• Outcome: Lear, perceiving this as a lack of affection, disowns Cordelia and banishes her from the kingdom without a dowry.

• Correct answer: Noun Phrase

Analysis of the sentence:

• Sentence: Her return to Bangladesh is uncertain.

• Subject: "Her return to Bangladesh"

• Reasoning:

  • "Return" is a noun, and "Her" is a possessive determiner specifying whose return.

  • "To Bangladesh" is a prepositional phrase modifying "return."

  • Together, the phrase functions as a single noun unit, representing the subject of the sentence.

Why not other options:

• Adjective Phrase: No, it is not modifying a noun.

• Adverb Phrase: No, it is not modifying a verb, adjective, or adverb.

• Prepositional Phrase: No, although "to Bangladesh" is a prepositional phrase, the entire phrase is a noun phrase.
