Answer:

Sentence containing a participial phrase: RISING EARLY, Lucy was able to do all the pending chores.

Word modified by the phrase: Lucy

Explanation:

A participial phrase is a phrase consisting of a participle (whether present or past) and their modifiers, and that acts as adjective, that is, it describes or modifies nouns. There are two types of participles: the present participle, which ends in -ing, like winning, and the past participle which is formed from the past tense of a verb, and therefore they usually have the endings -ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n, such as smiled, thought and swollen.

What follows is a sentence containing a participial phrase:

Rising early, Lucy was able to do all the pending chores.

In this sentence, Rising early is a participial phrase because it consists of a participle: rising, and an adverb which is the modifier of that participle: early, and it acts as an adjective, modifying and giving us information about Lucy, which is a noun, and also the subject of the sentence.
