1. flying
As the directions state, a participle is a verb. Both flying and headed are verbs. However, headed is used as an action verb in the sentence. It is what the geese are doing. Flying is an adjective describing the geese as "flying by". You should be able to cross out the participial phrase and the sentence will still make sense as in "The geese are headed south for the winter."
2. B. Clapping wildly.
Clapping wildly is the participial phrase. It describes the audience. Option C contains the main verb of the sentence "shouted" so this is not a participial phrase. Option D has an infinitive "to come".
3. cat
The participial phrase in the sentence is "hearing the footsteps of its owner". The cat is what hears the footsteps.

The correct answer
here is figuratist audience. The figuratist is a person who is a critical
thinker and uses language in innovative and often witty and colorful way. That
is why this kind of play would appeal to this kind of audience who enjoys word
games and double meanings which induce many comical elements. The comical
effect is often the result of a misunderstanding produced by the double
meanings. The opposite of a figuratist is a literalist who views everything literally.
