Answer: The sentence provided is describing Clara.
Explanation: The sentence provided belongs to George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion and it is describing Miss Clara Eynsford Hill. In the play, Clara is Freddy's sister and, as well as his brother, she is presented as an ignorant snob at the beginning, but as a well-dressed woman. Moreover, she is always spending time with his mother, Mrs. Hill. For that reason, the sentence provided starts with "the daughter".
A) has rung
B) rang
C) ring
D) is ringing
Answer: A) has rung.
Explanation: a participle is a word formed from a verb but used as an adjective or a noun. A participle can also be used to make compound verb forms, for example to form a past perfect or present perfect which is formed using the verb "have" in present (present perfect) or past (past perfect) and adding the past participle of the main verb. In the given sentence the main verb is "ring" which in past participle is "rung" so the correct answer is "He has rung the same bell for the past 50 years."
B. phrase.
C. apostrophe.
D. compound sentence.
