Answer: what text is this
Explanation: i'm confused
Odysseus is trying to guilt trip Eumaeus into letting him stay with him longer.
Participle is a verbal form that is used as if it were an adjective or adverb.
So, if the verb is, for example, "to bark" the participle would be"barking" as in "this barking dog"
and the correct answer is b. barking!
The answer is Exaggeration.
