Lady bird [3.3K]2 years ago

I have found this question online and realized that "ice" should actually be "eyes", which makes more sense with the context of the sentence.

Answer:

The entire absolute phrase in the sentence is "eyes glittering with concentration".

Explanation:

After reading it, we realize that "eyes glittering with concentration" refers to the sentence as whole. That is what makes it an absolute phrase - instead of modifying just one noun, it modifies a whole sentence. In this case, we can imagine Jack moving his cursor while his eyes glitter, showing how focused he is.

Absolute phrases' structure include a noun or a pronoun followed by a participial phrase. For example: hands trembling with nervousness. Notice that "eyes glittering with concentration" follows that structure.

Participial phrases consist of a participle and modifiers. For example: running out of energy.

Which one of these statements would be considered inappropriate in formal writing?
lana66690 [7]
I believe that B. would be inappropriate in formal writing because its just kind of rude to say. I would re-word it as: "He dislikes being late" or something like that because "hate" is just a cruel and informal word to use.
Hope this helps!!! (:
