Hello,
Could you please advise whether the following underlines text (lurked a menacing monster) is a Phrase or a Clause please and the reasons why? I have checked and different places give different answers.
Above the castle lurked a menacing monster
Appreciate your help.

Re: Phrase or Clause
The underlined part alone is neither: however, the entire sentence consists of a single (main) clause.
