• A. A ship
• B. Laden with merchandise
• C. Got drowned

Option B, "laden with merchandise," is a descriptive phrase that tells us more about the ship, specifically what it was carrying. Option C, "got drowned," is the verb phrase that tells us what happened to the ship. "Got drowned" is the past tense of "drown," which means to die by submerging in water.Drown is used for animate objects, ship is inanimate. It cannot die from drowning. "Sunk" will be used instead. Option D, "in the Pacific Ocean," is a prepositional phrase that tells us where the ship sank. It provides additional information about the location of the event.
