Answer:

The word sagacity means:

- good judgment.

The word bestowing means:

- providing.

Explanation:

"Sagacity" has to do with wisdom and perspicacity, that is, the ability to see to a great distance, in this case, figuratively speaking. Therefore, when mentioning "the strong sagacity (...) which seem(s) almost the birthright of the natives of the West Riding", the author means they are farsighted and have good judgement.

"Bestowing" means conceding, granting, providing. By saying "From rarely requiring the assistance of others, he comes to doubt the power of bestowing it", the author means the natives of the West Riding do not rely on getting or providing assistance to their neighbors.

What is the participial phrase in this sentence?Speaking as loudly as possible, Curt told his grandmother the good news.
Anika [276]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Speaking as loudly as possible.

Explanation:

A participial phrase is the part of a sentence in which the participle of a verb act as the subject of the statement, also having an adjective function in the whole sentence, due to the fact that it qualifies the other action. In this case it is possible to see how the participle of the verb is working as the subject, that is the reason why, it is considered the participle phrase, and it also modifies the second part of the sentence since it gives a description about it.

Some other examples of participle phrases would be:

Walking on the beach is great on vacation time.

Running in the mornings is my favorite activity.

Smiling and waving, she said hello.
