1. flying
As the directions state, a participle is a verb. Both flying and headed are verbs. However, headed is used as an action verb in the sentence. It is what the geese are doing. Flying is an adjective describing the geese as "flying by". You should be able to cross out the participial phrase and the sentence will still make sense as in "The geese are headed south for the winter."
2. B. Clapping wildly.
Clapping wildly is the participial phrase. It describes the audience. Option C contains the main verb of the sentence "shouted" so this is not a participial phrase. Option D has an infinitive "to come".
3. cat
The participial phrase in the sentence is "hearing the footsteps of its owner". The cat is what hears the footsteps.

Answer:
Part A: The author admires Harjo's ability to write about universal subjects
Part B: by stating that Harjo's poems could relate to any time in history
Explanation:
The author of the article admits that Harjo's work is rich and universal, as he has the ability to present thoughts and themes that are identifiable anywhere in the world and in any culture. This is an example of an author who crosses borders and can have his work understood by any type of reader. This also shows the poet's ability to cross centuries, since his poems deal with subjects so intrinsic to human beings, that people will identify themselves at any time.
