The sentence here contains a participle that is correctly punctuated. We have the phrase hiding in the brush which is our participle, and it clearly defines what the leopard was doing. Its is properly punctuated as the comma was necessary before the words, the leopard or else it would become improperly punctuated.

Answer:

The sentence contains a participle correctly punctuated.

Explanation:

The sentence above contains a present participle phrase <em>hiding in the brush.</em> This participle phrase is present as it ends in -ing. Participle phrase often include objects and/or modifiers that complete the thought (the PP <em>in the brush</em>).

What is more, this participle phrase is correctly punctuated because it is separated from the rest of the sentence by means of a comma. Participle phrases always function as adjectives, adding description to the sentence. That is to say, the information they provide is not considered essential to complete the meaning of the sentence. This is why it is offset with a comma.

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

What the author writes about thoughtfully are the United States.

Explanation:

Noun clauses are dependent (also called subordinate) clauses that act as nouns. Accordingly, they can function as the subjects, direct and indirect objects, predicate nominatives, and objects of a preposition of sentences, just like nouns. They begin with words such as <em>how, that, what, whatever, when, where, whether, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, </em>and<em> why, </em>which makes them easier to recognize.

The given sentence can be rewritten by introducing a noun clause related to the object (the United States): <em>What the author writes about thoughtfully are the United States.</em>
