Correct Answer:
B. Two European countries
A noun phrase is a group of words that functions as a noun in a sentence, typically consisting of a noun or pronoun and its modifiers. In the sentence “Voyage consists of two European countries,” the phrase “two European countries” acts as the object of the preposition “of.” Here, “countries” is the head noun, modified by the adjective “European” and the determiner “two,” making it a complete noun phrase.
- “Voyage” (A) is a single noun, not a phrase, although it is the subject of the sentence.
- “Consist of” (C) is a verb phrase, indicating the action or state of being, not a noun.
- “None” (D) is incorrect because a clear noun phrase is present in the sentence.
