One
This is one of those things where you pick the best of a poor lot. He's cautious and anxious. What says that? None of them so you have to pick a secondary characteristic of his. The ending depends on Scrooge being very particular about time and it would give him great pleasure if Bob Cratchet were but a few minutes late. If that's the answer, it must be C, but it is also unfair.
Two
The first one to have a participle is sleeping and eating.
The next one is entertaining (referring to Bruce)
The last one is undercooked.
Participles serve 1 of 2 purposes. They are verbs that act as adjectives or nouns and sometimes as part of a verb phrase. Sleeping and eating are nouns. Entertaining is an adjective referring to Bruce. Undercooked is also an adjective.
Three
As difficult as the first question was, this one could only have one good answer and that is A. Answers like D should not even be a consideration. The last one is possible, but it depends on how it is given. Belle is the best example of the right way but the nephew is not far behind.
