Answer: B. Brand names
Explanation: Brand names are proper nouns. For example imagine a counter with Allegra, Advil, and Tums; and then someone tells you to "go take that medicine on the counter". You would most likely be confused as to which one they're referring to. However, if someone was to instead say "go take that Advil on the counter", you would most likely be less confused as to which one they're referring to.
See how by saying "Advil" instead of "medicine" it makes the sentence and what the person's referring to clearer and more specific. That's what proper nouns do.
Brand names being proper nouns is what stops people from taking Tums when they really needed an Advil.

Read the sentences:
The player shot the ball. He used his right hand.
Select the sentence that correctly joins the two sentences with a prepositional phrase.
The player shot the ball and used his right hand.
The player shot the ball, but he used his right hand.
The player shot the ball using his right hand.
The player shot the ball with his right hand.
Answer: The player shot the ball with his right hand.
Explanation:
A prepositional phrase is made up of a preposition e.g (across, with, or to), its object and the modifier of the object such can be an adjective or an article. A prepositional phrase cannot stand on its own.
The sentence that correctly joins the two sentences with a prepositional phrase will therefore be "The player shot the ball with his right hand".
