iff search the victim’s house for clues that link the victim’s wife to the crime. What can you conclude from the sheriff's attitude in this excerpt? COUNTY ATTORNEY: (looking around) I guess we'll go upstairs first—and then out to the barn and around there, (to the SHERIFF) You're convinced that there was nothing important here—nothing that would point to any motive.

I conclude that the sheriffs attitude is that of boredom and wants to get out of there or that the sheriff is hiding something and being very guiltless. If that makes any sense.

In this passage, we learn that the sheriff has already looked at everything that is to be found in the house, and that he believes there is nothing that could point to a motive for the murder. However, we learn that he thinks kitchen things are unimportant. This shows that the sheriff is not very inquisitive, as he does not think of the possibility of "kitchen things" being used for murder.

Write the absolute or participial phrase in the sentences below, and identify whether that phrase is an absolute phrase or a par
vazorg [7]

Answer:

1. the night being rainy and cold → absolute phrase

2. opening the birthday card → participial phrase

3. the prizes having been awarded → absolute phrase

4. sitting beside his grandfather → participial phrase

5. having found a parking spot → participial phrase

6. the chocolate cake baked → absolute phrase

7. the war finally ending → absolute phrase

8. having attended the concert held at Stanley Park → participial phrase

9. dressed in his old uniform → participial phrase

10. the coach singing their praises → absolute phrase

Explanation:

Both absolute and participial phrases are used to modify and offer further information about something. The absolute phrase modifies an entire sentence, while the participial phrase modifies a noun. The best way to identify each is by looking at their subjects. The absolute phrase has a subject of its own, while the participial phrase has the same subject as the other clause.

Let's use two of the sentences in the question to better illustrate that:

6. The chocolate cake baked, Mrs. Patruni turned to the decorations. --> The subject of the phrase is "the chocolate cake", while the subject of the clause is "Mrs. Patruni". Thus, we have an absolute sentence.

9. Dressed in his old uniform, Dad walked in the parade. --> The subject of the clause and of the phrase is the same, "Dad". Dad walked and Dad was dressed. In this case, we have a participial phrase.
