Lady bird [3.3K]3 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 type of decision maker tends to choose the first available option in haste?
faltersainse [42]

The gut instinct follower is arguably the simplest decision maker and tends to choose the first option in haste.

When confronted with two possibilities and a handful of information on each, the instinct follower will generally form an immediate impression, and side with wherever that impression lands.

And mostly that is the correct decision but sometimes you just make the decision too quickly and waste it by choosing the very first option on the list.
