The correct answers are:1. a talented dancer2. the beautiful girlExplanation:A noun phrase is a group of words that functions as a noun in a sentence. It can include a noun, pronoun, or noun combined with other words such as adjectives, determiners, or prepositional phrases.In the given sentence, "a talented dancer" and "the beautiful girl" are both noun phrases:1. "a talented dancer" is a noun phrase consisting of the determiner "a," the adjective "talented," and the noun "dancer."2. "the beautiful girl" is a noun phrase consisting of the determiner "the," the adjective "beautiful," and the noun "girl."The other options are not noun phrases:- "girl was in" is not a noun phrase; it is a clause with a subject ("girl") and a verb ("was in").- "in the school" is not a noun phrase; it is a prepositional phrase.- "the school play" is not explicitly mentioned in the sentence, so it is not a noun phrase in this context.
