In which sentence is the underlined word a present participle? It is exciting to see the raised head of a dolphin in the water!

When dolphins are above the water, they are breathing air. Having adapted to pressure changes, dolphins’ lungs enable them to dive below the ocean’s surface. Swimming dolphins need to break the surface for air every two minutes.

A present participle is formed with the stem of the workd and the suffix -ing and it can have many functions, such as adjective, a part of the verb phrase. 

Here all the stentences have a present participle! Here they are:

It is exciting to see the raised head of a dolphin in the water!
exciting - it can be seen as a present participle or adjective

 When dolphins are above the water, they are breathing air.
breathing - this is definitely a present participle

 Having adapted to pressure changes, dolphins’ lungs enable them to dive below the ocean’s surface.
 here "having" is the participle"


Swimming dolphins need to break the surface for air every two minutes.

here "smimming" is the participle.


So the answer depends on which word was underlined!

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

More often than not, advertisements aimed at teenagers are effective. Simply because in the youthful ages, our brains are more easily persuaded. However, most advertisements are not ethical because they convince teens that they need to be everything but exactly who they are to be liked....... hope this helps!!

What is a central idea of the poem "Talking in Their sleep Use two details from the poem to support your response.
denis23 [38]
If you're talking about the poem by Edith M. Thomas then I believe that the central idea is about how people can base something off of their looks. I'm not completely sure, but it talks a lot about how they look dead, but then explain that they are not. To me that makes it sound a lot like the saying "don't judge a book by its cover".

It could also mean that things take time to grow into something beautiful, and before that happens, you have to go through something difficult, seeming as if it is the end of the world. But then you blossom and bloom and everybody will look in awe.

I'm not completely sure these are right, and I'm not sure we read the same poem, but you didn't state the author's name. This was just off the top of my head but I hope it helps you or gives you an idea :)

In three or four sentences, summarize “Rikki-tikki-tavi” from Teddy’s father’s perspective.
Snezhnost [94]
Nursing an flood-affected mongoose to harbor in his home, Teddy's father let his son keep the small animal when he showed no aggressive signs. Time went by, and things seemed to be going okay; Rikki would come in and out as he pleased, and guard over his son at night. But when the two cobras (Nag and Nagaina) had snuck in their home to presumably kill him, his wife and their son, he was more than proud of the mongoose when Rikki killed one snake and chased the other out of the home.

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: The Germans often sent important messages concerning their war efforts to their ambassador in Washington, D.C.

Explanation:

<em>The Dark Game</em> is a book written by Paul B. Janeczko. It tells a story about cyber espionage, which was quite present throughout the history of the United States.

In the given passage, the cables are described as <em>"an opportunity to gain access to </em><em><u>secret diplomatic messages</u></em><em> sent from Berlin to its ambassador in Washington, D.C." </em>These secret diplomatic messages were certainly important, since the British attempted to reveal them.

In the text, nothing is said about the German plans upon cutting the cables. It is also not stated whether the cables were the only type of communication, or if the new cables are planned. The other options are, therefore, incorrect.
