Little by little the bus trip turned into one great fit of laughter, an uproarious, interminable fit of laughter. I was burning with shame. My persecutor, impervious to the laughter, continued to strike me.

What type of phrase or clause is “was attending”
loris [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is: the verb phrase.

Explanation:

The verb phrase consists of a main verb alone, or the main verb + any auxiliary or modal verbs.  

In this case, the verb phrase <em>was attending</em> has a continuous meaning. It's a syntactic unit composed of at least one verb and its dependents (objects, complements and other modifiers), and not always includes the subject.

The verb phrase is similar to what is considered a predicate.
