Answer 66

the dress hanging is the new one

Answer 67

it still works without the participle phrase

Answer 68

yeah now I remember about restrictive vs non-restrictive clauses..so if it still works without the participial phrase, the sentence should use commas

Answer 69

but if the sentence can't stand without that phrase, it's okay not use commas

The dress is the new one.. now the sentence seems incomplete..

You should say "It \(\sf doesn't\) work without the participial phrase" lol xD
