Told can indeed be a participle or a verb, depending on the context.
Here it's verb: it's a past tense of "tell".
It could be a participle if the sentence were as follows:
I puffed by cheeks to get rid of the hiccups, told by my cousin to do so. (it's a weird formulation but not incorrect I believe)

This is a complete thought.

Explanation:
A conjunction is a word used to connect two clauses or words in a sentence. Conjunctions help establish a relationship between the elements they connect.
Let's take sentence 1 as an example. When we use the conjunction "but", we convey a contrast. The clause introduced by it expresses something that contradicts the idea expressed by the other clause. Another example would be:
"I like him, but I don't talk to him."
Normally, when we like someone, we talk to them. Thus, "but" indicates contrast between the two ideas in the sentence.
At the beginning of act two, scene two, there is a conflict between George and Beneatha after they get home. They have dated many times before, and when they were out this time, he tells her that he expects to have a more physical relationship with her, revealing his thoughts about education, that he sees it only as a way to get money.
When he tried to kiss her at the couch while she was trying to have a conversation telling him about her dream of becoming a doctor, she moved away and refused to kiss him. George gets angry saying that "he expects women to appear sophisticated but not to express sophisticated opinions" (C) as she's been doing many times, calling her moody and her thoughts stupid. Beneatha resolves it by ending the relationship calling him a fool. He wouldn't take her seriously and she could not change his mind deciding he is not the man for her.
