Answer:

North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free.

Explanation:

A participial phrase is a group of words that consists of a participle, its modifiers, and any objects that complete that thought.

Participles are words derived from verbs that can function as adjectives or parts of verb phrases. There are two types of participles:

Past participles - they usually end in -ed (for regular verbs), and less often in -en, -t, -d, and -n (irregular verbs). Example: bake - baked.
Present participles - they end in -ing. Example: bake - baking.

In the first sentence of the given excerpt, we have one participial phrase: being blind. It consists of the present participle being and a modifier blind.

Read the following quote. What do you think it means? Do you agree or disagree with the speaker? We teach girls shame... We make

Westkost [7]

I think this quote is explaining how girls are taught from the beginning, shame. When girls turn into women, they believe they must be quiet, they must be happy, and they must be perfect. I disagree with this quote for this generation. I believe that we have broken through those previous barriers and are now teaching women strength, courageousness, and the power to be ourselves. I do agree with the line, "they grow up to be women who have turned pretense into an art form.". From my experience, I believe that women cannot have the same emotions as men, because it may come across different. A powerful woman is seen as snarky or rude, whereas a powerful man is admired.
