The answer would be A, helped. A transitive verb is an action verb, which is a verb where someone does something physically or mentally, with an indirect object right after, or someone who receives the action of the verb. So, the action verb in the sentence is helped and the indirect object is the injured man, which makes the transitive verb "helped." Hope this helps!
The answer is the central idea
The answer is c because “they’re” is “they are” so it would be correct to use that one
The underlined participial phrase which is "continuing to stir the soup", is placed incorrectly. The correct sentence should be, "The phone rang and my mother, continuing to stir the soup, answered it". Why is it misplaced? Putting the participial phrase at the beginning of the sentence makes it a dangling modifier because it does not clearly state the specific word it modifies. In the corrected sentence, it is clear now who is being described with the phrase "continuing to stir the soup", which is the "mother".
