The country of Panem is a fictional country from<em> the Hunger games</em>, a dystopian novel written by Suzanne Collins.
Panem is somewhat smaller than North America. It is <em>a </em><em>totalitarian </em><em>society</em> - a political system in which any kind of a rebellion against the state is prohibited, while both public and private life of the citizens is strictly controlled. This is familiar to us in the real world - totalitarianism was largely present in the past. Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler were the most famous dictatorial rulers, and are considered as representatives of a totalitarian regime.
There are also similarities between Panem and the United States of America. In both countries, there are lower, middle and upper social classes. The citizens that live in the Capitol have certain benefits, just like those who live in urban areas in America. Many people who live in deprived areas are starving in the real world as well. In Panem, needless to say, these differences between the classes are more exaggerated.
Answer:
1. Infinitive
2. Preposition
3. Appositive
4. Gerund
5. Participle
Explanation:
1. An infinitive phrase combines an infinitive word, (e.g. to) and a verb, modifier or complement. In the first sentence, To look is the infinitive phrase.
2. Prepositional phrases contain a preposition, a noun or pronoun object of the preposition and a modifier.
3. The appositive is placed before a noun so as to provide further information about it. In sentence 3, on the table tells us where the plants were situated.
4. A gerund is a noun formed from a verb, with the addition of -ing. A gerund phrase is a gerund with additional words that can serve as the noun in the sentence. Catching the ball is the gerund phrase in sentence 4.
5. A participle phrase looks like a gerund phrase but the difference is that the participle phrase modifies a verb. In sentence 5, the participle phrase modifies the verb, took.
