An excerpt from Barbara Willard's The Sprig of Broom:

"It was mid-October, the harvest (1) well stored. The sun was as hot as if it shone (2) in
the first week of September, but (3) a tumbling sky threw great clouds before the wind,
and when the sun was obscured then all the promise of winter was in the air. But it was
magic weather, a gift to sweeten the sadness of (4) the ending year. There were still
blackberries, thick and dripping with juice, but these would remain (5) on the bushes, for
by now, as it was said, the Devil had spat on them and they should not be eaten. So birds
gorged themselves, and the ground and the leaves of the brambles were strewn with purple
droppings. The water, half shadow and half glitter, threw back the colours of beech and
bracken tossing them over the boulders like gold and copper coins."
Answer :

1. well stored: Adjective phrase (modifies the noun "harvest")

2. in the first week of September: Prepositional phrase (modifies the verb "shone")

3. a tumbling sky: Noun phrase (functions as the subject of the sentence)

4.
of the ending year: Prepositional phrase (modifies the noun "sadness")
on the bushes: Prepositional phrase (modifies the verb "remain")
