Explanation:
Phrase: consists of two or more words but their thought is not complete.
Example:
3. In a nipa house
- What is in a nipa house?
- What about the nipa house?
There are lots questions about it because the thought is not complete. Therefore, it is a phrase.
4. He does all sorts of work
- Who does all sorts of work? He.
- What does he do? All sorts of work.
The thought is complete because it includes a subject (which is the pronoun, he) and a predicate/predicate phrase (does all sorts of work).
Basically, a sentence needs to include a subject and a predicate(or predicate phrase). If it has no subject, it is most likely that you have encountered a phrase.
For number 13, I think it is not a phrase but rather it is a word.
