A participle normally ends in -ing or -ed. 
An infinitive is the simplest stem word of something.

An example of these would be running and run. Running is a participle and run is an infinitive. 

Because you now know this, you can immediately eliminate anything that does not say participle, since we now know running is one. You can eliminate the last two choices. They are wrong.

Running can only ever be used as an adjective and a verb, never a noun. Adjectives are used to describe nouns and verbs are used to describe action that a subject takes.

Could you help me find my running shoes? 

In this sentence, the subject is not running. The shoes are not literally running either. 

Could you help me find my running shoes? 

Running describes the word "shoes" making it an adjective. The shoes are being described as a pair of footwear the speaker wears when they go running.

This means that this is a participle functioning as an adjective.

State the difference between sound, symbols and letters of the alphabet​
ioda

Answer:

<u>Sounds </u>are noises produced, and in the context of language, they usually are connected to some certain letter or the combination of them. <u>Symbols </u>are representations of concept or idea, created in a cultural context. <u>Letter</u>s are signs that represent the written components of sounds and language.

Explanation:

<u>The sound refers to the produced noise that is audible</u>. In the context of the language, <u>it is the tone we make and that comes from our mouths, meaning the oral language</u>. Some languages do not have a written alphabet, but all languages are oral and consist of producing sound. <u>One sound can be equal to one letter, but some letters stand for two sounds or sounds that should be made after a combined mixture of two or more letters.</u>

<u>The symbol is a character or glyph that humans recognize to be a representation of some idea or concept.</u> <u>These are usually things that are known matter in a certain society.</u> They don’t have to have a natural, biological connection to their representation, but we understand them to be the impression of some idea.

<u>Letters in alphabets are symbols of the language and certain sounds. </u><u>Each written letter of the alphabet stands for some sound and represents a certain character used in oral and written communication.</u>

<u> It is important to note that </u><u>while letters are, at their core, a symbol, not all written symbols are letters</u><u>. Also, while </u><u>sounds can represent language and have the written equivalent in the form of a letter, not all sounds represent letters. </u>
