What is the prepositional phrase is this sentence? "she says that you can slip an old pair of socks on both hands and dust tables and blinds very quickly."

A prepositional phrase, just like how it sounds, is a phrase that contains a preposition and the object it modifies. Prepositions are words that depict position, such as below, after, on, above, etc.

The preposition in the sentence is "on", while the object it modifies is both hands. Thus, the prepositional phrase in this sentence is: on both hands.

in that passage i would say the sentence which best describes the overall impact of the setting is when they mention the absence of people because it suggests that taking a walk at night is unusual.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
