The Joads are a poor family of tenant farmers who were forced out of their Oklahoma home by drought, economic hardship, changes in the agricultural business, and bank foreclosures during the Great Depression. The novel is set around this time period.

The option that best states the purpose of the excerpt from "Romeo and Juliet" is "It foreshadows the outcome of the play," as stated in option D.

What is foreshadowing?

We call foreshadowing the technique of revealing information at some point that connects to an event taking place later in the story. Imagine you are watching a movie and you notice a knife lying on the top of a table. That same knife is then later used to kill a thief that breaks into the house. Showing the knife beforehand is foreshadowing.

A prepositional phrase oftentimes refers to a phrase that refers to an object's position.

Or in more correct terms;

"A modifying phrase consisting of a preposition and its object."

- Oxford languages

"Of the bay"

has an object; presumably the 'bay' and has a preposition 'of'

The sentence "of the bay" refers to a relationship between a noun or pronoun (the bay) and its position (of)

So, yes.

Yes it is. The way I learned it in grade school was to think of, what can the bee do to the jar? The bee can fly above, to, through, beside, below, through, around, and somehow, of works too.
