I'd go with B, Meager. I hope this helps!
THe second sentence is using present participle because you said " I promise" not "promised". Saying promise is when you are saying it at the time and saying promised means you've already said it. Like with how you said "kissed" instead of "kiss" in the first sentence.
Answer: C. Jack does not know if Lady Bracknell objects to the location of his house or the rule that says the location is unfashionable.
Explanation:
When Lady Bracknell asked Jack his house number in Belgrave Square, he told her 149. Lady Bracknell shook her head and said the side Jack was staying was unfashionable.
Jack was confused and asked her if she meant that the fashion, or the side could be changed. This shows that Jack is confused in this passage as he doesn't know if Lady Bracknell objects to the location of his house or the rule that says the location is unfashionable.
Answer:
An absolute phrase is a type of the phrase which modifies a noun in a sentence, but without being connected to the sentence with a conjunction. An absolute phrase is separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma, and if we remove the phrase the sentence won't lose its original meaning.
e.g. Her luggage has been packed, Sarah went to the airport.
We create an absolute sentence when we want to add some unnecessary detail to our sentence, but without changing its original meaning. In the example above, the first part of the sentence represents the absolute phrase, while the second part of the sentence contains the important information - that Sarah went to the airport.
