Which word in the sentence does the underlined phrase modify? During the tour, we bought souvenirs at the gift shop. A. gift B. shop C. bought D. souvenirs
C. Is the correct answer here - bought is based on the root verb 'buy or to buy' but its sense in the sentence is set against the framework of a time from the phrase with the word 'During' and so the word of choice must become 'bought'.
