In the book "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" on page 26, Red says, "They give you life, and that is what they take- all of it that counts, anyway."
The answer is C. When Amy refers to dinner time with her family, she describes, not a pleasant but a distressing time during which her parents did things and behaved in embarassing ways.

While low-carbohydrate diets have become increasingly popular as a potential, more effective method of weigh loss that has, as well, other health benefits, doctors believe, based on the available research literature, that these diets carry potential long-term health risks. The research literature indicates: first, that this type of diet is highly effective for short-term weight loss but the long-term effectiveness is not significantly greater than other diets: that the extra health benefits are unknown so far, and finally, that there is higher potential for negative health outcomes due to an increased consumption of saturated fat. More research is needed, but this three points seem to conclude on the importance of following a balanced, moderate diet appropiate for the individual.
1. flying
As the directions state, a participle is a verb. Both flying and headed are verbs. However, headed is used as an action verb in the sentence. It is what the geese are doing. Flying is an adjective describing the geese as "flying by". You should be able to cross out the participial phrase and the sentence will still make sense as in "The geese are headed south for the winter."
2. B. Clapping wildly.
Clapping wildly is the participial phrase. It describes the audience. Option C contains the main verb of the sentence "shouted" so this is not a participial phrase. Option D has an infinitive "to come".

The participial phrase in the sentence is "hearing the footsteps of its owner". The cat is what hears the footsteps.
