The purpose of making the second paragraph a single sentence is one of timing. It sets a quick pace with no interruptions. This is intended to mirror the actual experience of walking into the warehouse and looking at the slaves being sold. In this way, the author wants you to imagine the situation the way he is describing it.

The author uses the lists "husbands, wives..." and "sold, leased..." for a couple different purposes. One is similar to the previous one: to create a certain pace. The author provides several quick and short options in a row, which mimics the quickness, confusion and overload of sights when walking into the warehouse. Although the behaviour of the seller is calm, the mind of the viewer is going quickly as it considers the implications of the scene. The second one is to highlight the reality of the slaves. By giving you all the options, he shows that no matter what your condition was, you were sold in the same way and with no concern for your individuality. Finally, the author also gives us these lists of characteristics as factual information that describes the condition of the slaves.

Exercise 1 Circle the participle or participial phrase in each sentence.
Paladinen [302]

The participle or participial phrase in each sentence is " Being a "and "tried out".

<h3>What is participial phrase?</h3>

Participle phrases are composed of a participle, a modifier, and a pronoun or a noun phrase. The Pronoun/Noun in the phrase will take on the role of the action's recipient. A comma is required after a participial phrase if it comes at the start of a sentence and the next phrase is a full sentence.

A phrase beginning with a participle will be a present or past participle. The sentence will invariably conclude in ing if the participle is present. Similar to how a regular past participle will end in a regular ed. Unfortunately, irregular past participles can end in a variety of different ways.

A present participle phrase is a sentence fragment that modifies a noun and starts with a present participle.
