Answer:

D

Explanation:

A participle is a verb that acts as an adjective. Dark, billowing clouds often are signs of a bad storm on the way is the ONLY sentence that has an adjective in it. Hope this helps!

Answer:

D) Dark, billowing clouds often are signs of a bad storm on the way.

Explanation:

The present particle refers to an adjective which derives from a verb and contains the ending <em>-ing</em>. As a result, the adjective <em>billowing</em>, which means filled with air and distended outward, is in the present participle form.

The rest of the options are incorrect because the<em> -ing</em> forms are gerunds and gerund phrases, which function as nouns and objects, not adjectives.

When an author uses the literal meaning of a word in the text they are<br><br> Please help
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Referring to the dictionary defenition of a word

Explanation:

This is because the author is using the word in a literal meaning and not in an expressional meaning like a poet does.

Example. The Main Character cannot break through the wall, Its pretty tough.

This is literal. The word " tough " is being used in its dictionary meaning since it means Hard.

Meanwhile a poet might use this as an expression of something else like

" He was heartbroken, the woman he loved had shattered his soul and it was a tough experience for him "

Tough is used as an emotional feeling of being broken down instead of its dictionary counterpart.

Hope it helped, sorry if Im wrong.

Urgent plz help!!!!!!<br> What is NOT a purpose of the character of Moishe the Beadle in Chapter 1?
Ierofanga [76]

Moshe is awkward, clownish, shy, doesn't talk much but sings, deeply spiritual, very poor, and the community likes him.    Are there any options to choose from?   One critical way in which Moshe is important to both Eliezer and the people of Sighet is because of his symbolic meaning.
