It functions as a verb. Patricia is 'taking' the selfie as we talk. It is using present tense.
It should be <em />cats' instead of cat's.
Hope this helps!
Well, this answer can be many things! I would say "When you read carefully in order to determine the meaning of a challenging word, you are 'using context clues'", perhaps? Maybe not...how about "...using prior knowledge"? Since you didn't offer any alternative answers, or list any answers, I can only guess. I hope I helped you a little bit!

Explanation: Yes is to be capitalized because it is the beginning of the first word in quotations. Captain is to be capitalized because it is the beginning of a title. If it came after the title, the word would not need to be capitalized.
Is there a reading along with this? if so can you attach it.
