C...............................i did the same problem
Answer:
The answer is A.
Explanation:
Gerund and present participle are -ING modifiers. They are verbals which means that although look like verbs, they have the function of another part of speech. In a sentence, they are modifiers because they give us closer information about the main word. However, when we use them, we need to avoid misplaced modifiers.
Answer B, although grammatically correct, has completely illogical meaning due to the word <em>pulling</em> modifying the wrong word. In this case, it looks as though the word <em>pulling</em> refers to fast-food order and not <em>Carmen</em> which is of course semantically impossible.
The correct answer would be B. Adjective.
A participial phrase would appear to be a verb but it functions as an adjective in a sentence. It describes a noun. It consists of a present participle, past participle, or any modifiers and objects.
American slavery has always been a highly debated topic throughout the years. Often, people associate slavery with words such as brutal, cruel, inhumane, and horrible. Slaves were forced to forget about freedom and forget about the liberties of life that we American’s now take for granted. In the readings “Slaves Appeal”, “Walker’s Appeal”, “Prospectus for the Liberator”, and the movie “Roots” there were many circumstances where slavery was described and realistically documented.
