Which sentence contains a noun phrase? a. the actor wearing a purple dress with white flowers gave a speech after accepting the award. b. while running errands all day with joshua, sheila ran into her old friend at the supermarket. c. a few people came to watch the grand rehearsal of the play opening next week. d. since she was about fifteen, amanda has been managing and conducting events.

The answer would be A. because everything in the sentence is referring to the actor. Hope this helps ^^
