Answer:

The correct answer is past participle.

Explanation:

All the participle clauses are tools used to shorten the information.

There are three types of participle clauses: present participles, past participles and perfect participles.

The past participle generally fulfill the function of the liabilities. Its use can be to add information, or to give a reason to the verb that has the sentence.

Present participle: verbs ending with -ing: watching, leaving, cooking.

Perfect participle: formed with "having + past participle": having watched, having cooked.

I look upon England to-day as an old gentleman who is traveling with a great deal of baggage, trumpery which has accumulated from long housekeeping, which he has not the courage to burn; great trunk, like trunk bandbox and bundle. Throw away the first three at least. It would surpass the powers of a well man nowadays to take up his bed and walk, and I should certainly advise a sick one to lay down his bed and run.

Tablets Versus Textbooks

(1) The business world is becoming more and more digital every day. (2) Public education should follow suit and provide students with tablet computers. (3) Tablets are handheld devices with screens and controls built into single units. (4) Providing students with tablets increases their motivation to learn.
(5) On the other hand, studies show that most students divide their attention between multiple tasks while using digital devices. (6) Some teachers and parents are concerned that students will be distracted by games, apps, email, and Web sites while they are supposed to be learning. (7) The demands of our fast-paced society require people to multitask. (8) Giving students the opportunity to develop this skill will serve them well in the future.
(9) Another advantage of tablets is that they can hold hundreds of textbooks. (10) Also, they are lighter and sleeker than textbooks. (11) Students who use tablets do not have to carry a backpack full of heavy textbooks. (12) Additionally, schools do not need storage space for the e-textbooks.
(13) Furthermore, schools should use tablets because e-textbooks cost less than printed textbooks. (14) According to a 2012 report from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), e-textbooks can save schools a minimum of $250 per student per year. (15) Although the initial cost of the tablets may be greater than printed textbooks, the e-textbooks will save districts money in the long run. (16) Overall, the benefits of using tablets instead of traditional textbooks are greater than the drawbacks. (17) Tablets encourage student learning, reduce the need for storage space, and cut school spending.

Read the two passages from Sugar Changed the World. Knowing that their slaves were likely to die by the time they reached their thirties, Louisiana sugar planters were extremely selective—they bought only healthy-looking young men in their late teens. On average, the men purchased in Louisiana were an inch taller than the people bought in the other slave states. Those teenagers made up seven to eight out of every ten slaves brought to America's sugar Hell. The others were younger teenage girls, around fifteen to sixteen years old. Their job, for the rest of their short lives, was to have children. Elizabeth Ross Hite knew that, for sure, "all de master wanted was fo' dem wimmen to hav children." Enslaved children would be put to work or sold. The overseer S.B. Raby explained, "Rachel had a 'fine boy' last Sunday. Our crop of negroes will I think make up any deficiencies there may be in the cane crop." That is, a master could sell any slaves who managed to live, if he needed more money than he could make from sugar. Jazz was born in Louisiana. Could it be that a population of teenagers, almost all of them male, were inspired to develop their own music as a way to speak, to compete, to announce who they were to the world? Bomba in Puerto Rico, Maculelê in Brazil, jazz in Louisiana—all gave people a chance to be alive, to be human, to have ideas, and dreams, and passions when their owners claimed they were just cogs in machinery built to produce sugar. The sugar workers in Hawaii were not enslaved—they chose to come. But they still lived hard lives: Hawai'i, Hawai'i I came seeing the dream But my tears now flow In the canefields When the Africans were brought to work in sugar, they had to form new families, learn new languages—they had to find ways to blend their new lives with what they recalled from their homelands. The holehole bushi hint at one way sugar workers have always found strength and comfort: My husband cuts the cane I carry the stalks from the field Together, the two of us We get by Which statement best explains how the authors develop their claim across the two passages?

Read the poem "The Snake" by Emily Dickinson.

A narrow fellow in the grass
Occasionally rides;
You may have met him, — did you not,
His notice sudden is.

The grass divides as with a comb,
A spotted shaft is seen;
And then it closes at your feet
And opens further on.

He likes a boggy acre,
A floor too cool for corn.
Yet when a child, and barefoot,
I more than once, at morn,

Have passed, I thought, a whip-lash
Unbraiding in the sun, —
When, stooping to secure it,
It wrinkled, and was gone.

Several of nature's people
I know, and they know me;
I feel for them a transport
Of cordiality;

But never met this fellow,
Attended or alone,
Without a tighter breathing,
And zero at the bone.

B.She uses a simile to show that snakes are harmless creatures .

I knew not who had wrought with skill so fine
What I beheld; nor by what laws of art
He had created life and love and heart
On canvas, from mere color, curve and line. 4
Silent I stood and made no move or sign;
Not with the crowd, but reverently apart;
Nor felt the power my rooted limbs to start,
But mutely gazed upon that face divine. 8

And over me the sense of beauty fell,
As music over a raptured listener to
The deep-voiced organ breathing out a hymn;
Or as on one who kneels, his beads to tell, 12
There falls the aureate glory filtered through
The windows in some old cathedral dim.
What is the BEST definition for raptured in line 10?

A) bewildered
