Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi."

And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest.

The theme expressed in this paragraph is that

even wise people do foolish things at times.those who sacrifice for others are great people.sacrificing one’s most prized possessions is foolish.<span>wise people are often those with the fewest possessions.

Which phrase in this excerpt from James Joyce's "Araby" is a participial phrase?
Ann [662]
You seem to have every kind of verb form present in this selection. I'm going to list them all and what they do.

being blind: It is a participle and it is a participle phrase. But is it an adjective? 

was is a linking verb for the main clause. It is not a candidate at all.
set is the predicate of the subordinate clause beginning with  except not a candidate.

stood second main clause predicate verb. 

gazed a verb form for the main clause.

had died. Main clause verb. Not the answer.
having been long enclosed is close. Unfortunately it is a gerund phrase which is an object of a preposition (from). It likely is the second best answer.

hung main clause verb.

found main clause verb

The rest don't matter they are linking verbs or main clause verbs or subordinate clause verbs.

The only one you really could choose is being blind. It describes street.
