A participial phrase refers to a group of words that contains a verb in the -ing or past form, which is used to describe a noun or a pronoun, and its object. It is best to put the participial phrase near the object it describes.  In the other 3 sentences, the participial phrase makes the thought even confusing; thus, the correct sentence is:  “Peeling off her winter jacket, Sierra settled into the cozy armchair."

Answer:

The sentence that contains a participial phrase placed correctly is the following one: Peeling off her winter jacket, Sierra settled into the cozy armachair.

Explanation:

The sentence above contains a present participle.  All phrases require two or more words, so participle phrases generally include objects and modifiers. What is more, participle phrases always function as adjectives, adding description to the sentence. In the sentence above, the present participle phrase"peeling off her winter jacket" premodifies the noun head "Sierra".

Determine if the story is written in first-person, second-person, or third-person point of view. Write a 75- to 100-word answer
sertanlavr [38]

Since I am unable to see or know where the point of view is coming from, here are some ways to identify the point of view. For first-person it would be using " I, me, and my" Second-person is still centered around one person, but uses he, him, her, she, and so on. The third-person is a reflection of all the charecters, so it will say most of their unsaid thoughts and uses he, him, her, and she.

Each POV gives a different meaning and life to the story, even if it may seem useless and it was just the author's preferred writing style.  For example, first-person gives the story a more realistic point of view, and also these stories may connect to the reader better. Second-person gives a broader range of perspective, even if it is still centered around the one character it still describes their surroundings better. Third-person I imagine being like watching a movie but instead reading it. This POV can help the readers, because now instead of getting one persons point of view, they are understanding all character's POVs.  

hope this helps in some way shape or form.
