Answer:

Being blind.

Explanation:

Participial phrase is a group of words consisting of a participle (present or past participle) which acts as a main word, and a modifier ( present participle ends  on -ing, while past participle has different suffixes which depends on the verb is regular or irregular). Whatever participle it may be, these phrases always act as an adjective in a sentence, modifying nouns. Knowing this, the only possible answer is being blind; other answers don't contain present or past participle. Also, this phrase modifies the word street, which is a noun, so it functions as an adjective.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The case for diversity cites a study by a Nobel prize-winning scientist that shows when diversity is introduced in a group, the entire group benefits, not just the minority individuals.

Appeal to authority.

Do you really want to spend your time with a bunch of bigots and extremists who are afraid of people who don't look like them?

Appeal to emotion

Diversity makes sense when you think about it. How do people learn? Not by encountering the same old thing over and over again, but by encountering new things. And diversity introduces new things, and new people, into your environment.

Appeal to logic.

An appeal to authority which is also known as Argumentum ad Verecundiam that uses the opinion of a figure of authority to back up a claim or support an argument.

An appeal to emotion is used to stir up the emotions of a person so as to convince them about a proposition.

An appeal to logic is used by showing reasons why a person should do something, what would happen when the person fails to do it and why an option is the best possible solution.
