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>

Determine whether the given topic is more obviously suitable for a report or an essay. Why Cooking is Not Important
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Essay

Explanation:

An essay is more opinionated than a report. while you can give facts and reasons in both, this topic already has a bias towards why it's not important. A report would just state the facts on the importance of cooking, good or bad. While an essay would try to convince you that it's not important and give facts and reasons towards that bias.
