Placing “state leaders” in quotation marks indicates that the writer is mocking the lawmakers.
By placing "state leaders" in quotation marks, the speaker is indicating his/her displeasure with the decision to consider overturning the law that forbids the sale of lottery tickets on Sundays. The other options do not work as a correct answer. First, in option A, there are no first person pronouns. Option C states that giving the reason behind the bill shows the speaker's anger - it does not. It merely gives additional information as to why they would overturn the bill. The comparison of the lottery to gambling is not factual evidence.
<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is 'participial phrase'.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given the following sentence:
'The old man sat at the window,<em> remembering the days when he would have gone outdoors</em>'.
Here, the italicized words are an example of participial phrase.
A phrase which looks like a verb but actually functions as an adjective while modifying a noun in the same sentence is called a participial phrase.
So in this sentence, 'remembering' is the present participle and 'remembering the days' is the participial phrase. The participial phrase modifies 'he'.
