Explanation:
Participles are types of words that derive from verbs and often end in "-ing", "-d" or "-ed", although this varies in irregular verbs. Besides this, in grammar participles act either as part of compound verbs or as adjectives by defining nouns. In the case of the sentence "The confused student shook his head to clear it" the word that is a participle is "confused" because this word derives from the verb "confuse", end in "-ed" as most participles and also acts as an adjective by describing the noun "student".
The word ''exert'' means to apply or exercise influence over something else, either positively or negatively.
The word 'exert' as used in the quotation has to do with the use of language, and essentially how it is expressed to give a particular influence.
The author says, languages exert hidden power, It means that Language always has within its grasp the capacity to express a hidden power if it is properly used, considering the figurative expression used alongside it.
The figurative expression is a simile. With the effusion of ''like'', Rita Mae shows a comparison between how the moon takes on the tides and how languages exert hidden power; thereby leaving the reader to feel and deduce the degree at which the languages exert hidden power.
The moon causes low and high tides. This is done through its gravitational pull. The pull then generates what is known as the tidal force. In turn, the force makes the earth—all its water—to swell on both sides nearest and farthest to the moon. It is these swells of water that are called high tides. That is how the moon exerts its pull.
From the exposition on how the moon exerts its hidden pull, one understands the degree for which languages exert a hidden power if properly used; one understands how and what Rita Mae Brown means by ''exert''.
