Sentences can be formed by phrases or clauses, in this case the italicized words are a phrase. A phrase is a grammatical unit composed by a set of words without subject and predicate whereas a clause is a grammatical unit formed by a set of words that includes a subject and a predicate.  

The noun phrase “Wishing to be heard” is modifying the noun “speaker” since it is providing an explanation of why the subject is performing an action.

KATRIN_1 [288]

In "The Armenian Language is the Home of the Armenian," all of the following quotations support the poem's main idea about the comforts associated with home except "For centuries its architects have toiled".The second option provided is correct.

The main idea of the poem entitled The Armenian Language is the Home of the Armenian. It deals with the comforts associated with home. Among the quotations that supports the main point in the text are "roof and wall and nourishment", "its cupboards full, lamps lit, ovens hot, and always rejuvenated, always old, it lasts." The only quotation that does not support its main idea is this, " For centuries its architects have toiled". It does not refers to comfort. Instead it deals with  how architects get tired throughout the years.
