.Identify the participial phrase and the word it modifies.Running up the stairs, he glanced apprehensively behind him.

Participial phrase:
Word modified:

Answers

Running up the stairs, he glanced apprehensively behind him.

Participle phrase: running up the stairs.

Word modified: he.

A participle phrase will start 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.

In this case the participle running is present because it ends in ing.

A participle phrase will tipically include objects and/or modifiers that complete the thought.
The participial phrase in this example is 'running up the stairs', and it modifies, or refers to 'he', the person who is running and glancing. 

Odysseus spends a lot of time talking about the very strong wine that Maron gave him. What kind of literary device is this? epic simile
foreshadowing
extended metaphor
argument

Answers

The literary device used in this sentence is extended metaphor.

The phrase “spends a lot of time talking about the very strong wine” indicates that the words used to refer to the object are not literally applicable to the action performed. 
Actually, it would be foreshadowing. The hinting at the wine tells that he will be using the wine soon
