Answer:

The comma is used in this sentence due to a participial phrase.

Explanation:

In the sentence "Completely exhausted by the hike, the climbers rested at the foot of the peak," "completely exhausted by the hike" is a participial phrase.

A participial phrase is formed by a participle (present or past) followed by pronouns, nouns, or phrases that complement what was said by the participle. That sort of phrase functions as an adjective, modifying a noun. In the case we are studying here, the participle is "exhausted" and it is modifying the noun "climbers", that is, it is attributing a characteristic/state to it.

Extra explanation: an adverb clause would function as an adverb, modifying an adjective, a verb, or another adjective. They can indicate manner, place, time, cause etc., and they must present a subordinating conjunction. For example: <u>Because she gave me money</u>, I went to the shopping mall.

An interjection has the purpose of conveying an emotion in an exclamatory way - "Wow!", "Ouch!" etc.

Degger [83]

Work of Shakespeare can be used to influence the people about the cultue and values of their time.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Author proposed that Shakespeare was a superior poem author than dramatist. They stress how his pieces and plays were all the more speaking to crowds from his time."Shakespeare isn't of an age, yet forever."

He lives today in our language, our way of life and society – and through his suffering impact on instruction. Shakespeare assumed a basic job in molding present day English and assisting with making it the world's language.
