<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is 'participial phrase'.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given the following sentence:

'The old man sat at the window,<em> remembering the days when he would have gone outdoors</em>'.

Here, the italicized words are an example of participial phrase.

A phrase which looks like a verb but actually functions as an adjective while modifying a noun in the same sentence is called a participial phrase.

So in this sentence, 'remembering' is the present participle and 'remembering the days' is the participial phrase. The participial phrase modifies 'he'.

Look at the poster.
iris [78.8K]

Hi!

The correct answer would be : by contrasting the image of a sleek, modern train with old-fashioned forms of transportation

Explanation:

On the top left you see various means of transportation that are not as convenient to travel short or long distances, such as the man riding a horse, and the carts. These images give off a very old-fashioned vibe as these were common means employed in the 1900s and even before This is in stark contrast to the train dominating the poster -showing off its elegance and hinting at luxury and modernity.

Hope this helps
