Read the sentence below and answer the question that follows. creating fear in us, the tour guide turned out the lights in the passage. which role does the underlined verbal phrase serve in the sentence above? a) adverb b) subject c) direct object d) adjective

I would say it is an adverb

The role which the underlined verbal phrase serves in the sentence above is the following one:

A) adverb.

Explanation:

It shows how  the tour guide turned out the lights in the passage, which means the underlined verbal phrase works as an adverb of manner, that is, its function in terms of syntax is that one. Other examples are:

"Slowly, the tour guide turned out the lights in the passage."

"Intentionally, the tour guide turned out the lights in the passage."

There are other possibilities which could also have been used to work as adverbs of manner (sadly, joyfully, quickly, etc.), as well as other verbal phrases that could have functioned in the same way (staring at us, looking down, smiling at us, etc.).

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
