Answer 2

Right because i know what both of those mean and neither matched the sentence

Answer 3

but i really would say C on this one

Answer 4

Do you know what a subordinate clause is?

Answer 5

Correct. Now, that WOULD be the choice IF this wasn't true:A participle phrase will begin with a present or past participle. If the participle is present, it will dependably end in ing. Likewise, a regular past participle will end in a consistent ed. Irregular past participles, unfortunately, conclude in all kinds of ways [although this list will help].

Since all phrases require two or more words, a participle phrase will often include objects and/or modifiers that complete the thought.

Answer 6

oh wow really present or past for participle

Answer 7

Answer 9

Answer 10

the past

Answer 11

The past participle, also sometimes called the passive or perfect participle, is identical to the past tense form (in -ed) in the case of regular verbs, but takes various forms in the case of irregular verbs, such as sung, written, put, gone, etc.

Answer 12

Correct.
