Answer: In the sentence provided, the participle is <u>"digging"</u> and the word that it is modifying is <u>"man"</u>.

Explanation: A participle is a non-finite verb form. There are two types of participles: past participles and present participles. While past participles end in "-en", "-ed", "-t", "-d" or "-n",<u> present participles end in "-ing"</u>. Moreover, present participles usually act as adjectives and modify nouns. In the sentence "The man digging in the quarry helped us find our baseball",<u> "digging" is a present participle because, besides ending in "-ing", it is functioning as an adjective and it is modifying the noun that is immediately before it: "man"</u>.

Lines 606–616: How does Bella’s upbringing influence the way she handled the fire escape collapse? How would this scene be viewe
prohojiy [21]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try and help as best I can.

The only way to answer this question is to read this text in full. However, from the context of the question we can see that Jane and Bella will react very differently to the the fire escape collapse and that the way they would act is related to the type of education they received. Generally speaking, we can understand that if Bella or Jane received an education focused on problem solving, tranquility and critical and solving thinking, she can act very rationally when dealing with the collapse of the fire escape, trying to solve the problems that this caused in a practical and safe way, otherwise, any of them would act in complete disorganization and nervousness, without being able to solve or act correctly in this situation. To understand this, you must read the text and identify the type of education each of them received and how it affects their behavior in adverse situations.

Add a comma to the first sentence to separate the subordinate clause from the main clause
velikii [3]

When talking about recycling, people don't seem to consider the recycling of clothing.

The comma should be placed between the first use of recycling and people. The subordinate clause is "when talking about recycling". This is a clause because of the word "when". When makes the reader wonder when what? The main clause is "people don't seem to consider the recycling of clothing."
