English

Firdavs [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A. Walking along the shore, Rosie and her little sister began to notice many starfish on the rocks.

Explanation:

Participial phrase is a set of words whose main part is participle and as a whole functions as an adjective.

Infinitive phrase has an infinitive as main part and can have many functions in a sentence.

Sentences C. and D. don't have infinitive at all (to + verb).

Sentence B. has infinitive (to calm down) but it doesn't havs participle. "taking" although looks like participle, is actually gerund. The whole phrase (taking a long walk) doesn't modify any noun, it functions as a subject.

Finally, sentence A. has an infinitive (to notice) and infinitive phrase (to notice many starfish on the rocks). Since this modifies verb "began" this server as an adverb. Also, there iss a participle (walking) and participial phrase (walking along the shore). This functions as an adjective because it modifies Rosa and her sister.

List three examples of imagery regarding where Grendel's and his mother live.
Akimi4 [234]

Three examples of imagery regarding where Grendel and his mother are:

  • No one knows its bottom,
  • 'Hunted through the woods by packs of hounds
  • 'They live in secret places...'

<h3>What is imagery?</h3>

Imagery is a term that shows a vivid description of the events in a story. When describing the evil place where Grendel and his mother lived, the usage of terms that depict the place as not having a bottom and being in the woods clearly show that it was a strange and hideous place.

The place was also described as secret and this meant that it was not easily accessible or known to others. Grendel and his mother were not good people as seen in the story, Beowulf. This is also reflected in the description of the place where they lived.

The reader can imagine that the place where they stayed was weird. So, the phrases above connote a good depiction of imagery.
