Answer:

The question is incomplete, below is the completely stated question:

Which sentence features a present participial phrase functioning as an adjective?

A. Blushing furiously, the newcomer couldn’t believe he’d been so gullible.

B. Fatigued after a long day, the woman recuperated with a quiet evening.

C. Our teacher likes to spring impromptu tests on us so we keep studying.

D. The heat radiating from the pavement caused the air to ripple and waver.

Answer:

Blushing furiously, the newcomer couldn’t believe he’d been so gullible. (A.)

Explanation:

A present participial phrase is a phrase that consists of a present participle ( a word ending with '-ing') while functioning adjectivally to describe or modify a noun or a pronoun. In the options given in the question, option A contains the adjectival phrase <em>'Blushing furiously' </em>with the word blushing, being the present participle form of 'blush', and the phrase modifying the noun <em>'the newcomer'</em>.

Present participial phrases should not be confused for Gerunds, which also begins with an -ing word, but do not have adjectival functions. For example:

<em>Playing the piano</em> is Mary's hobby.

The gerund phrase in the sentence above is <em>Playing the piano</em>, and it functions as the subject of the verb 'is'.

On the other hand, if it is used like this:

<em>Playing the piano</em>, Mary did not say a word to the boys.

Here, 'playing the piano' is a present participial phrase that describes the noun Mary.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: I picked a simple butterfly to animate using a flipbook. A flipbook allows you to animate a drawing. I started by cutting out about thirty small rectangles of paper. I then drew the first image of the buttery with its wings up as shown in the image on the first paper. I numbered this 1. I then traced the image of the butterfly on another piece of paper and moved the wings a bit down, as in image two. I numbered the paper 2 and set it aside. I repeated this on the remaining pieces of paper, moving the wings a little more with each piece. I then stacked the pieces of paper together to form a book from numbers 1 to 30. I stapled the left edge of the papers and flicked through the right side to reveal the animation I had created.

Explanation:

I don't have the picture, but I attached it as a file, but don't copy and paste, it is edmentums sample answer!

alekssr [168]

Answer and Explanation:

Dear Manager.

Two months ago I made a purchase at your store that made me very happy. At the time I bought a cooler for desserts. I chose to buy at your store because of the confidence that I have your work and the work of all salespeople and employees who have always worked so that I had a good experience, that's why I write this letter.

I realized that my cooler does not work properly and as I know of its commitment to the customer I would like to ask if there is a possibility that my product can be repaired and, if necessary, replaced by a cooler that is fully functioning.

I await your response and apologize if I have created any discomfort.

Thank you.
