Answer:

D) The smell of burning leaves filled up the neighborhood.

<u>here, the present participle is 'burning' which is also used as an adjective for 'leaves'.</u>

Explanation:

A present participle is a verb which usually ends in -ing and forms a continuous tense. It can be used as an adjective as used in the example above. It can also be used as infinite clause 'Because I'm here' or as a noun 'by fast running'.

the word burning here is clearly present participle.<u> It also serves as an adjective to 'leaves' it is describing a condition of the leaves.</u>

Answer:

The sentence that uses participle as adjective is: Option D: The smell of burning leaves filled up the neighborhood.

Explanation:

The present participle (usually in -ing form) acts as an adjective and describes noun or other verbs. The past participle is in (-ed, -en, -d form usually) and is used as an adjective.

In Option B, burning is the present participle which is modifying the noun 'leaves'. Other participles in other options are not modifying a noun. Option A only mentions about enjoying outdoors. It is not describing any noun. Similarly, in Option B and C, participles, dancing and telling, respectively, are not modifying any nouns in the sentence, hence are not acting as adjectives.

Why should you sometimes truncate a word by leaving out a letter or group of letters (e.g., creat rather than create)?
Ivan

The correct answer is D. Use it to broaden a search to include different forms of the truncated word.

Explanation:

In internet search, the word truncation, also called stemming refers to a search technique in which only the section of a term is written, for example, instead of including the term "create" you only include the first letters of it or the root word which is "creat" or instead of including the term "spacecraft" you include only "space". This is mainly used to broaden the results in a search, because by including only part of a term results will include all possible forms or ending of the term, this means in the case of "creat" results would include the words creation, creative, creat, creature, etc and in the case of "space" this would include results related to space, spacer, spaceship and not only spacecraft. Therefore, the reason for using truncation is mainly to broaden a search to include different forms of the truncated word.
