Answer:
C. Participle phrase
Explanation:
A Participle is a verb which acts as an adjective, describing a noun or pronoun. We have the present and past participles. In the phrase example given, 'curious' serves as the participle which describes the 'thing'.This tells us that the object in question is eager to learn about something.
So, the word curious, serves as both a description and the action word which is what a participle phrase means.
I feel like b isn’t grammatically correct, so I’ll go with a.
The readers understanding would change without different points of view shown through dialogue because without characters point of view shown through dialogue there is nothing there to form the readers opinion and understanding of the characters feelings and thoughts. In the Hobbit, dialogue is very important for the readers understanding. For example, Bilbo Baggins shares his thoughts, feelings, and ideas throughout his adventures, along with many other characters. Without Bilbo expressing his point of view through dialogue, the reader would have no idea what he is feeling, along with all of the other characters, Dialogue builds a picture in the readers head and without that picture the reader won't have an accurate idea of what the author intended the reader to think.
I hope this helps! :)
Well in this chapter its not one person who is not home. Bilbo gets everyone on an adventure so it the heat of the chapter i guess nobody is REALLY home.
