Answer:

gerund, not a participle

Explanation:

The antique painting was sold for $100,000. The italicised 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. This is so because I can paraphrase it in this way: I saw her when she was painting the wall. Notice how the full past contniuous has been retrieved. This means auxiliary + participle.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

They think that Betty has been bewitched so if she really was she would not be able to survive hearing the Lord's name. More likely the reason was that she heard everything about the affair between John Proctor and Abby.
