English
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]2 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.

Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved.
Alona [7]

Answer:

Female factory workers had to work long hours, sometimes up to eighty hours a week.

Explanation:

Joan Dash provided a poignant and eye-opening historical account of the women's factory strike of 1909 in "We Shall Not Be Moved." This provides an insight into what the condition was like for women and also how the Women's Trade Union League came to be.

In the given passage from the text, the narrator reveals how the women's demand was simple: <em>"a fifty-two-hour week with extra pay for overtime, an end to the fines and petty tyrannies, and a living wage." </em>And in order to understand what the basis of the demands were, we have to know the situation of workers, especially female workers during the early 1990s. And the fact that <u>women workers were expected to work for long hours, at times even up to eighty hours a week</u> was too much for any living being to endure.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
