Answer:

Your answer would be that the participial phrase is "talking rapidly" and the word it modifies is the pronoun <em>she.</em>

Explanation:

The participle in the sentence above is "talking rapidly". This participial phrase is a present participial phrase as it ends in -ing. Since all phrases requiere two or more words, participle phrases often include objects and/or modifiers. In this case, the participle phrase contains a modifier, the adverb "rapidly".  What is more, participle phrases always function as adjectives by adding description to the sentence. As you can see, the participle phrase in question premodifies the personal pronoun <em>she. </em>

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: c. "I know what you are — you are a supertaster

Explanation:

Since Maricella always uses less seasoning on her food than do the other members of her family, she's a supertaster.

A supertaster is someone who has a stronger taste for certain foods or flavors than the average person. In such people, their sense of taste is of higher intensity than others. This can actually lead them to being selective of the kind of food they eat.

Read the excerpt from "Save the Coral Reefs.”
svetoff [14.1K]
<span>Q1: The ability of an ecosystem to recover from damage.
In the text, it says "the resiliency of the reefs". From this we know that resiliency is a trait that the reefs have. In the next sentence, we see the context clues that define resiliency when it states "reefs bounce back-even flourish." When someone or something bounces back it recovers and returns to it's previous state.

Q2: to inform readers about how the coral reefs are being destroyed AND to convince readers that practices that destroy coral reefs must be stopped.
It is a "Check All That Apply" so more than one answer can be chosen. The passage title is "Save the Coral Reefs" and the selection ends with the sentence "More can be done now to help the coral reefs bounce back". These clues tell the reader that the author's purpose is to save the reefs. In order to do this the author needs to first explain how the reefs are being destroyed. Then convince readers to save the reefs by stopping the practices that destroy them.

Q3: "could help save" and "unsubstantiated risks".
It is important to pay attention to the question here. It is asking for phrases that support safety - not necessarily nutrition. A pixie stick is safe to eat, but not nutritious. The phrase "could help save" supports the idea that it is safe because it is being defined as possibly life and eye-saving. "Unsubstantiated risks" also shows safety because it state that any risks have not been proven and are therefore unfounded. Some of the other phrases such as "more vitamin A" and "more nutritious" support the argument that the food is healthier but are not used to specifically explain how safe it is.</span>
