Participles are sometimes confused with verbs because they are made up of:
1) verb + –ing form . This is called PRESENT PARTICIPLE and it has the function of an adjective (not a verb)
Example: The singing bird is beautiful. The word “singing” modifies the noun “bird” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The bird that sings is beautiful.”
2) Verb+ ed / past participle form. This is called PAST PARTICIPLE and it has also the function of an adjective as it provides information or qualities of a noun.
Example: The wounded dog was crying all night. The word “wounded” modifies the noun “dog” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The dog which was wounded was crying all night”

Citing passages from a text is one way to provide elaboration in an essay.
The reason why this would be your answer is because when you cite your source, it allows to person to go to the source to see more information about the quote you got, and not leave them empty handed. If you didn't cite you source, it would be considered plagiarism, and wouldn't allow the reader to get to know more about the quote and what happens.
