Answer:

gerund, not a participle

Explanation:

The antique painting was sold for $100,000. The italicized word is the gerund. This word is a gerund because it is functioning as a noun. Gerunds have nominal functions. Painting is synonymous wit picture .Participles do not; they denote actions. For example: " I saw her painting the wall" carries a participle: painting. It can be corrected as "I saw her when she was painting the wall."  Notice how the full past continuous has been retrieved. This means auxiliary + participle.

In order to look for their prey, owls _______.
zepelin [54]

Answer:

In order to look for their prey, owls turn their head

Explanation:

Despite giving the impression of having a thick neck because of the plumage, the owls have a very thin and articulate neck. Their vertebrae are much more mobile than the common vertebrae of mammals. In addition to the cervical spine being formed by extremely flexible vertebrae, these birds still have around 13 vertebrae in the neck, while we have only seven. All this results in this incredible ability to be always attentive to the movements that surround it.

This ability, coupled with excellent vision and improved hearing, makes the owl an excellent hunter.
