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 answer is A. I took the test
B) Ants look creepy with their weird eyes.
This sentence is out of place because although the rest of the passage is formal and informative, this one is informative and does not offer real fact about the ants.
Answer:
neglected by another
AND
to fall into decay
Explanation:
Thriftless implies when a person is spending money in a way regarded as wasteful or extravagant. From the passage, thriftless as used signifies a heir who spends money built by his father recklessly, hence the words from the text that helps to indicate the meaning of the word as used in the passage will be "neglected by another" and "to fall into decay". These shows thriftless and a nonchalant attitude towards money being spent or already spent.
