Participles are sometimes confused with verbs because they are made up of:
1) verb + –ing form . This is called PRESENT PARTICIPLE and it has the function of an adjective (not a verb)
Example: The singing bird is beautiful. The word “singing” modifies the noun “bird” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The bird that sings is beautiful.”
2) Verb+ ed / past participle form. This is called PAST PARTICIPLE and it has also the function of an adjective as it provides information or qualities of a noun.
Example: The wounded dog was crying all night. The word “wounded” modifies the noun “dog” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The dog which was wounded was crying all night”
A line of verse with five metrical feet, each consisting of one short (or unstressed) syllable followed by one long (or stressed) syllable, for example Two households, both alike in dignity<span>.</span>
The correct answer is C. Cause and effect
Explanation:
In language, reasoning occurs as statements or premises connect logically and lead to a conclusion. This reasoning can be of different types including cause and effect in which an event, situation, etc. is presented as a trigger of others. In the statement "Gradually, desertification causes a dryland, such as the Sonoran Desert, to lose its ability to support plants and animals" this is the type of reasoning as a cause is presented "desertification" and the effect of it " to lose its ability to support plants and animals" which is also shown by the verb "cause" that shows the cause and effect reasoning.
