Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Your answer would be that the predicate is the VP "kept her heart rate up while waiting for the light" and the participle is "running in place".

Explanation:

The predicate is everything that is not the subject. It is the part of the sentence or clause that contains a verb and states something as regards the subject. In this case, the VP "kept her heart rate up while waiting for the light". In order to identify it, you should first identify the subject by asking the question who/what verb(ed)? Who kept her heart rate up while waiting for the light? The answer is "the woman". Therefore, the rest of the sentence is the predicate.

Moreover, the participle phrase is "running in place". This is a present participle as it ends in -ing. Participles always function as adjectives, adding description to the sentence. In this case, the participle phrase descibes the noun "woman".

. Nights and Dragons—From the memoir of author Abigail PrynneI sit at my desk listening to thunder growl outside my window. Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts.What do the first two sentences of this paragraph implyMultiply negative 1 over 6 multiplied by negative 1 over 5 . get the anwer please
Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments. I have said that a fifth or more of the species of plants and animals could vanish or be doomed to early extinction by the year 2020 unless better efforts are made to save them. . . . As the last forests are felled [destroyed] in forest strongholds like the Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more. In the world as a whole, extinction rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man. They cannot be balanced by new evolution in any period of time that has meaning for the human race.Why should we care? What difference does it make if some species are extinguished, if even half of all the species on earth disappear? Let me count the ways. New sources of scientific information will be lost. Vast potential biological wealth will be destroyed. Still undeveloped medicines, crops, pharmaceuticals, timber, fibers, pulp, soil-restoring vegetation, petroleum substitutes, and other products and amenities will never come to light. Based on the excerpt, which statement best summarizes the author’s beliefs about the disappearing species? The loss of plant species and habitats will lead to widespread animal extinction. The loss of plant species and habitats will lead to environmental problems in remote regions. The loss of plant species and habitats will displace animals and decrease human wealth. The loss of plant species and habitats will devastate animals and hinder human progress.
