Answer:
A story about a girl who becomes a professional athlete after she graduates.
Explanation:
This is correct because it is the only one of the answer choices which gave evidence to discredit the counterclaim rather than support it.
A participle has the form of verb + -ing. So the only such word here is 'smiling' that is the participle in this sentence. It modifies 'woman', that is, it refers to how the woman opened the door - smiling pleasantly.
<span>B. The women aren't comfortable being there.
The fact that they enter slowly shows that they are nervous about going inside. Also, the fact that they huddle close together and make sure they stick with each other also reinforces the fact that they are not comfortable with being there. </span>
