Answer:

Your answer would be that the participle phrase "barking in the yard" modifies dog.

Explanation:

The complete participial phrase in the sentence above is "barking in the yard for hours". In this case, the participial phrase is present so it ends in -ing. Since all phrases requiere two or more words, a participial phrase will include objects and/or modifiers. What is more, participial phrases always function as adjectives, adding description to the sentence. As you can see, the participial phrase in question modifies the noun dog. Moreover, this participial phrase is essential as the information it provides is considered relevant to complete the meaning of the sentence; it helps identify which dog the speaker is referring to. If it was removed, the meaning of the sentence would be changed. The sentence would refer to that particular dog no longer (see 1).

Answer:

John Steinbeck.

Explanation:

John Ernst Steinbeck Jr, an American writer famous for his works on the lives of the people living during and around the Dust Bowl, said in his Nobel acceptance speech in 1962 that

"The ancient commission of the writer has not changed. He is charged with exposing our many grievous faults and failures, with dredging up to the light our dark and dangerous dreams for the purpose of improvement."

His speech was a form of relaying a message that writers like him had to do in order to make known to people the various but harsh realities of life. His take on the migrant farmers' lives during the Dust Bowl in "The Grapes of Wrath" gave him a huge credit for revealing the truth and the lives led by these farmers.
