Answer: The italicized word ("trained") is a participle.

Explanation: A participle is a non-finite verb form. There are two types of participles: present participles and past participles: While present participles generally function as nouns, past participles usually act as adjectives. In the sentence provided, the italicized word, which is "trained", <u>is a past participle. "Trained" is functioning as an adjective since it is describing and providing additional information about a noun: "dog"</u>.

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

C. Swiftly

Explanation:

The simile in sentence three is "Penelope sprinted like a cheetah." Well we already know that a simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things, by using the words "like" or "as". In this example, the narrator compares Penelope's speed, to the speed of a Cheetah. Cheetah's are generally very fast. The definition of <u>sluggish</u>, is <em>slow moving or inactive</em>. The definition of <u>merrily</u>, is<em> in a cheerful way</em>. And the definition of <u>despairingly</u>, is <em>to have absence of hope</em>. We can use these definitions, and context clues from the text to figure out that swiftly, is in fact the correct answer.
