You forgot to mention which is the underline phrase in
the sentence. However I dug up on other sources and I believe the correct
underline phrase is:
“In many places around the
world”
Now the function of this
underlined phrase is called as “adjective prepositional phrase”. A preposition
is something which connects a word in a sentence to the other words. In this
case, the underlined phrase connects diners to the rest of the words to give
meaning to the sentence. See, if we remove the underlined phrase, it would
become “Diners consider roasted insects a delicacy” which does not really make
sense since we do not know which diner the sentence is referring to. Since the
underlined phrase also describes the word diner, hence it is also an adjective and
therefore an “adjective prepositional phrase”.
Answer:
adjective prepositional
phrase
