Answer:

Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,

Explanation:

In poetry, the term enjambment refers to the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line. In other words, the sentence doesn't end at the end of the verse but rather continues in the next one.

In this example, we see that in line number 2 "And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk" the sentence continues in line number 3 (as the complete sentence would be "and climb black branches up a snow-white trunk towards heaven")

Therefore, we can see that the enjambment is present in line number 3 "Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more"

We can see that lines 4 to 6 (the other answer choices) are complete sentences by themselves so therefore, the correct answer is line number 3.

Answer:

North Richmond Street, <u>being blind</u>, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free.

Explanation:

A participial phrase is a group of words that consists of a participle, its modifiers, and any objects that complete that thought.

Participles are words derived from verbs that can function as adjectives or parts of verb phrases. There are two types of participles:

  • Past participles - they usually end in -ed (for regular verbs), and less often in -en, -t, -d, and -n (irregular verbs). Example:<em> bake - baked</em>.
  • Present participles - they end in -ing. Example: bake - baking.

In the first sentence of the given excerpt, we have one participial phrase: <em>being blind</em>. It consists of the present participle <em>being</em> and a modifier <em>blind</em>.
