A PARTICIPLE is a verbal that is used as an adjective and most often ends in -ing or -ed. They express an action or a state of being. However, since they function as adjectives, participles modify nouns or pronouns.
A PARTICIPIAL PHRASE <span> is a group of words consisting of a participle and the modifier(s) and/or (pro)noun(s) or noun phrase(s) that function as the direct object(s), indirect object(s), or complement(s) of the action or state expressed in the participle.

As we read the conversation between Mr. Hooper and Elizabeth, we can see that Hooper is determined to continue to wear the black veil, no matter what it may cause.
We can arrive at this answer as follows:
- Elizabeth and Hooper are engaged.
- Their conversation started because Elizabeth demands to know why Hooper is wearing a black veil all the time.
- The black veil makes Hooper look somber and Elizabeth believes that, as his fiancée, she has a right to know why he is acting this way.
- However, Hooper is unwilling to either tell her why he is wearing the veil or stop wearing it.
- He believes Elizabeth should trust him as his bride.
The conversation between them shakes the engagement between the two, but Hooper shows that he will continue wearing the veil even if it saddens his fiancée and even if the engagement needs to be ended.
This question is related to "The Minister's Black Veil" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In this story, we meet a Puritan town that is terrified of the town's minister's decision to wear a mysterious black veil.

Answer: He would create a utopia of social and economic.equality
The correct answer is A. Verb + -ed
Explanation:
The function of the Simple Past Tense is to indicate an action is completed and belongs to the past; for example, actions that occurred yesterday and were completed should be in this tense. Besides this, the simple past tense is mainly indicated by the verb because this should be in past form; this in most cases means the verb needs to end in -ed (suffix that indicates past) as in the verbs talked, called, or watched. However, in the case of irregular verbs, this rule does not apply, this includes verbs in past such as wrote (write), ran (run), or bought (buy). Thus, the formula used to indicate the simple past in most cases is verb+ed.
