Participles are words that are formed from verbs but act as adjectives. They are called <em>verbals</em>. What is more, phrases are a group of words without a subject and a verb that function as as single part of speech. Therefore, participles consist of the participle and its complements and modifiers.
Taking all this into account, it can be said that the participial phrase is "trimmed that morning" and that it modifies the noun "grass". This is a past participle which is further specified by the NP "that morning" which gives information about the time in which the grass was trimmed.
Meaning it was to be founded as soon as possible, seeming as urgent means important/ a needing to be done fast.
Answer:
C) Hard work and pride in one's work are more important than outward success.
Explanation:
In the given excerpt from "The Dancer's Dream," the narrator describes how Lily felt before auditioning in front of people. Moreover, the passage reveals her determination, her acceptance, and her realization of what's more important.
When Lily realized that <em>"her dream had already come true. She was a ballerina dancing on a stage . . . doing what she loved and the people she loved the most were there to see it"</em>, she knows she's achieved her goal no matter what the outcome of the audition may be. To her, being able to dance on a stage in front of her parents and Miss Emilie is the only thing important, worthy of every practice and long hours she'd spent.
This passage expresses the <u>central claim that hard work and pride in one's work matters more than outward success that measures one's efforts</u>. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
