A participle is a form of a verb that is used in a sentence to modify a noun, noun phrase, verb or verb phrase, and thus plays a role similar to that of an adjective or adverb.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's D, present. o: A present participial has an "-ing" suffix (in this sentence it does not)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its definitely not a because it states that he ATE. meaning already happened. in the past so that eliminated a and c
