Find two sentences in the book Catcher in the Rye with a common noun and two with a proper noun. 2. Write the four sentences following this example: "Phoebe was a great sister" (19). [common noun] Notice the sentence is in quotes. Notice the page number is in parentheses. Notice the period comes after the parentheses. Notice that the common noun is underlined. Notice that the type of noun is identified in brackets.
Absolute phrases are types of phrases which don't refer to just a single word in a sentence, but rather to the entire sentence. Usually, they have this form: noun + participle (looks like a verb ending in -ing) + optional modifiers/objects.
In this sentence, just look for a participle in order to find your absolute phrase. The correct answer is eyes glittering with concentration. The phrase describes how Jacques managed to move his cursor.
These all sound like ways to make or break your interview, but since you have to pick one, I would say it might be C) mood.
Hope I could help!
