A participle refers to an action in progress before the verb be in its different forms. In the sentence provided, although the itlicized word contains the "ing" ending, it doesn't function as a verb. The action relies on the fact that the man  had acquired a good credit rating. By paying his bills promptly is that he got it. Accordingly, it is a gerund which indicates how the action takes place.

In "Feathered Friend," why does the alarm fail? What are
Snowcat [4.5K]

When it comes to the alarm failure and the canary in "Feathered Friend," we can answer the questions in the following manner:

  1. The first alarm does not go off and the back-up alarm had not been connected just yet.
  2. Some potential problems with using a canary rather than an electronic alarm are: The canary may die for some natural reason, which will lead people to think there is something wrong with the air. Also, people may be far away and not see the fainted canary, whereas they would still hear an electronic alarm.
  3. (This is a an example of a personal opinion) Both can be reliable, but also both can have problems. Canaries have been used in underground mines and helped save people lives for centuries. Electronic alarms are usually efficient, but a problem with the circuit may lead to malfunction.

<h3>What happens in "Feathered Friend"?</h3>

In the story, Sven brings a canary with him to the space station. He wants to see the effects of low gravity on the bird. However, the bird ends up saving everyone's lives.

Sven notices the bird has fainted, and he has knowledge of canaries being used in mines to alert workers about the quality of the air. He quickly assumes there is not enough oxygen.

It turns out that their electronic alarm <u>failed</u> to go off for some reason. Had Sven not brought the bird with him, the crew would have died due to lack of oxygen.

What does this mean “Late land of slavery”
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The late land of slavery is a poem.It talks about what slavery was like and the poem - goes like My country tis of thee,

Late land of slavery,

        Of thee I sing.

Land where my father’s pride

Slept where my mother died,

From every mountain side

        Let freedom ring!

My native country thee

Land of the slave set free,

        Thy fame I love.

I love thy rocks and rills

And o’er thy hate which chills,

My heart with purpose thrills,

        To rise above.

Let laments swell the breeze

And wring from all the trees

         Sweet freedom’s song.

Let laggard tongues awake,

Let all who hear partake,

Let Southern silence quake,

        The sound prolong.

Our fathers’ God to thee

Author of Liberty,

        To thee we sing

Soon may our land be bright,

With Freedom’s happy light

Protect us by Thy might,

        Great God our King.
