Answer:
Victor took Victor's seat in the theater before the show started.
Explanation:
Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns or noun phrases. Instead of repeating someone's name constantly, we will use certain pronouns. We can use the second sentence as an example. It's not practical or natural to repeat Victor's name over and over again. Instead, we will start using the pronoun<em> he</em> (and its other forms - <em>him, his</em>) after the first time his name is mentioned. That's why the sentence should be written like this:
<em>Victor took </em><u><em>his </em></u><em>seat in the theater before the show started</em>.
Answer:
North Richmond Street, <u>being blind</u>, 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:<em> bake - baked</em>.
- Present participles - they end in -ing. Example: bake - baking.
In the first sentence of the given excerpt, we have one participial phrase: <em>being blind</em>. It consists of the present participle <em>being</em> and a modifier <em>blind</em>.
