which sentence uses prepositional phrases to add variety and interest to its meaning?

D. With a sudden grunt, the spaniel leaped up after the wily chipmunk.

Explanation:

First of all, let's see what a prepositional phrase is. It is a phrase (a combination of at least two words) that consists of a preposition and a noun/noun phrase. In the sentence above, there are two prepositional phrases: with a sudden grunt (with + a sudden grunt) and after the wily chipmunk (after + the wily chipmunk).

Sentence C could also be correct here as there are two prepositional phrases there as well; however, it also uses a dependent clause which was not specified in the question.

answer: the first one

explanation:

explicitly is defined as “in a clear and detailed manner, leaving no room for confusion or doubt.” the rest are interpretive and not clearly proven leaving in fact possible “confusion or doubt” which explicitly, by definition cannot have.
