Answer:
The underlined group of words that is a participial phrase is:
O living in organized cities
Explanation:
One can recognize a participial phrase in a sentence because it looks like a verb, but it actually functions as an adjective. Its purpose is to modify a noun in the same sentence. For example, "living in organized cities" is a participial phrase that spices up or further describes "the people of this area." Phrases like this modify a noun and provide added description about the action of the noun or its description.
Elizabeth Gaskell's Ruth is a social novel, also know as "problem novel" that deals with the old Victorian views about legitimacy and sinful behaviors. Gaskell portrays an outcast, "a fallen woman" in a very compassionate way.
It is demonstrated how the society would act towards a mother who conceived a child out of a marriage and how the main character, Ruth, is viewed as an evil and sinful person, despite the fact that she is actually good from what we can see. A proof of that would be the fact that she was willing to act as a nurse for typhus victims. She even treated Bellingham who was responsible for her ruin.
It is also interesting to note that she was not treated as a bad person or unwanted person by the townspeople who actually appreciated her nursing care. She also did not speak down to them. She recognized their needs and they were thankful for that.
