A participial phrase functions in a sentence as an adjective.

Further Explanation:

A participle phrase is a phrase which functions as an adjective in a sentence. It seems to be a verb but in actual terms, its function is focused to be an adjective. At the same time, it helps in modifying the noun present in the sentence. A participle phrase in a sentence adds a description of the noun and gives additional information. In a participle phrase, the participle is either in present form or in the past. A participle is not a part of the main clause in the sentence. When a participle phrase is used in a sentence, commas are used to separate them from the main clause. On the other hand, when the participle phrase appears just after the noun comma is not added. At times, participle phrases are confused by gerunds. A gerund acts as nouns while a participle phrase act like an adjective. The main use of the participle phrase is seen when they are used in newspaper and article. The prime function of the use is to impart a lot of information in few words.

Have you ever wanted to say something clever (to impress someone), and you couldn't think of anything to say? What kind of emotions did this bring up for you?

Yes, I have. It has happened several times. When I realized I would not be able to come up with anything clever to say, I ended up frustrated and annoyed at myself. However, those feelings did not tend to last long. After some time has passed, I usually realize that my motivation as well as the context would never allow me to say something impressive. Impressive statements normally come naturally, when we feel comfortable with the situation and the topic. If we feel the need to impress, that already makes the context more difficult and uncomfortable, reducing our chances to come up with something good.

Flura [38]

Answer and Explanation:

"Islands and Icebergs" by Ralph Semino Galan is a poem about reading a poem. The speaker asks readers to imagine the paper as being the ocean and the words to be floating on the that ocean. That is a clue as to why he writes three lines per stanza. The length of the lines, along with their number, reminds us of the waves, even the foam, to floats up and down, back and forth, on the ocean. The author wrote three lines per stanza as a way to make the poem itself resemble an ocean, instead of simply asking as to imagine it.
