This sentence would probably be a citation in APA style. Citations on research papers are very important since they give due credit to the original owner of the statement. Statements that don't have citations tells the readers that those statements are of the researcher/s alone which would be a problem for them if found out that it wasn't theirs to begin with. This would result to a work of plagiarism which is a grave sin in constructing research papers and is more equated with the act of stealing.
A participial phrase contains a participle, which is a verbal form with the endings -ed or -ing (or irregular, such as "written", as in "Written on monday (the piece was famous already on Tuesday)).
here the participle is "noted" and the whole phrase is this one:
Noted for her beauty
The correct answer is A. He begins to consider illogical possibilities
Explanation:
"Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a novel written by Robert Louis Stevenson, in this novel John Utterson is trying to understand the strange events that occur to Dr. Jekyll a friend of him who has found a way to change his body and personality and became Mr. Hyde which is an evil and mysterious character. In these excerpts, Dr. Jekyll's servant Poole who has also notice strange events and believes Mr. Hyde has killed Dr. Jekyll looks for the help of Utterson as Mr. Hyde is the room of Dr. Jekyll and after they both entered the room they find the body of Mr. Hyde and a letter of Dr. Jekyll, from this situation Utterson starts reflecting on possible explanations the first one is that Mr. Hyde could not have killed Jekyll because the possible murder did not scape and does not seem to be logical, also, he believes there was no reason for Hyde to kill Jekyll and the letter found from Jekyll shows he is alive, this actions imply Utterson does not understand the situation and starts thinking on non logical theories to try to give an explanation. Thus, in these excerpts, Utterson begins to consider illogical possibilities as the events are too strange and he is trying to understand them.
I would say definitely use your time wisely. Make sure you are fully focused too. Though it may be difficult to focus, (I understand) try and find some outside resources that can help you bring interest into what you're learning in any subject.
I'd assume they are referring to the metaphor of "you" being a "gray cat" or "quiet street."
