Question 15 • Senior English

Which sentence contains a participle?

Answer
A
The whole frustrating experience can be blamed on poor planning.
B
The park prohibits everyone from skateboarding on weekends.
C
Although studying may seem tedious, it fosters great results.
D
Great cunning was required to make the surprise party feasible.

Explanation

A participle is a verb form used as an adjective. In “the whole frustrating experience,” frustrating describes the noun experience, so it is a present participle used as an adjective. In A and C, studying and skateboarding function as gerunds, while required in B is part of the passive verb phrase “was required.”
