Absolute phrases are types of phrases which don't refer to just a single word in a sentence, but rather to the entire sentence. Usually, they have this form: noun + participle (looks like a verb ending in -ing) + optional modifiers/objects.
In this sentence, just look for a participle in order to find your absolute phrase. The correct answer is eyes glittering with concentration. The phrase describes how Jacques managed to move his cursor.

Maru [420]

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here are the options:

Which character trait of Sherlock Holmes does this excerpt from "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle illustrate?

A. His ambitious nature

B. His perfectionist nature

C. His tendency to be cautious

D. His powers of observation

The correct answer is D. His power of observation

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the narrator describes how the detective Sherlock Holmes noticed the stains of mud in the jacket of the woman, and based on this evidence Holmes knew this woman had traveled on a train recently. This discovery requires specialized observation and analysis. Indeed, this shows Sherlock Holmes' power of observation because he was keen enough to notice the smears and then reach a valid conclusion as the woman admits Sherlock's conclusion is true "and came in by the first train to Waterloo."

1. Inclined

Inclined means to be favorable towards something. In this sentence Jacob is not inclined or not in favor of switching spots with anyone else in the car.

2. incisive

Incisive means cutting (think incision like in surgery). In this case the word biting is the context clue that tells us incisive, or cutting, would be the best fit.
