In modern English, phrasal verbs such as bring up, turn down, and carry on exemplify the blending of verbs with adverbial or prepositional particles that alter the base verb's meaning. The semantic relationship between the verb and the particle often produces idiomatic constructions that cannot be interpreted literally. Considering the syntactic behavior of these structures, which option below correctly identifies a true phrasal verb rather than a prepositional verb?


A

B

She listens to classical music every morning.


C

They believe in hard work and discipline.


D
