Wallace places emphasis on the word "adjust" because he is addressing our realities and way of thinking as "default." He expresses the importance of paying attention to your surroundings, and adjusting to other perspectives and ways of thinking. He compares our ignored experiences to the water fish swim in but were never taught to notice.

Answer:

The underlined group of words that is a participial phrase is:

O living in organized cities

Explanation:

One can recognize a participial phrase in a sentence because it looks like a verb, but it actually functions as an adjective.  Its purpose is to modify a noun in the same sentence. For example, "living in organized cities" is a participial phrase that spices up or further describes "the people of this area."  Phrases like this modify a noun and provide added description about the action of the noun or its description.
