The correct answer is C. Annoying me into a rude awakening, the alarm continued to buzz loudly in my ear.

Explanation:

In grammar a participial phrase refers to a phrase that begins with a word that ends in -ing or -ed but does not act as a verb but as a noun, along with other words that complete the meaning of the participle, for example, the phrase "swimming is good for your health" is a participle phrase in which "swimming" is the participle and the rest of the words define it. On the other hand, an infinitive phrase begins with an infinite which is composed by the preposition "to" followed by a verb and as in the case of participle phrase other words are included to define the infinitive, for example, the phrase "to climb the Everest was her goal" the infinitive is "to climb" and other words explain the infinitive.

Considering the previous ideas, the sentences that uses both a participle and an infinitive phrase is "Annoying me into a rude awakening, the alarm continued to buzz loudly in my ear", because in this sentence "Annoying me into a rude awakening" is the participle phrase composed by the participle "annoying" and other words that define it and the infinitive phrase "to buzz loudly in my ear" with the infinitive "to buzz" and other words that define it.

Hello there,

Why did the author choose to provide this fictional account of Iqbal Masih, who was a real person? Check all that apply.

Story:

My first impression was that he was handsome. Then I thought, No, he isn't really good-looking. But he had such eyes. They were sweet and deep and they weren't afraid. He was standing at the threshold of the workroom with Hussain Khan's enormous hand gripping his arm and we were all looking at him. The fourteen of us child-slaves plus Karim, all observing another slave. He was one of the many who had come and gone over the years, but we felt that somehow, this new boy was different. He looked around at us, one by one. He was sad, of course, like anyone who has been away from home for a long time, like anyone who is little more than a slave, like anyone who can't imagine what will become of him.

Answers:

since some of these details are not known

to interpret and share real events

to bring Iqbal to life through descriptive detail and dialogue

In paragraph 12, Turkle begins an extended metaphor: little “sips” of online connection. What does Turkle's metaphor describe?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Professor Sherry Turkle's little "sips" of online connection is a metaphor that describes the little "pieces" of conversation that we are having by using technological devices.

Explanation:

MIT Professor, Sherry Turkle, PhD, and a licensed clinical psychologist, with a joint doctorate in sociology and psychology, notes that people are now avoiding the necessary conversations that we ought to be having with one another because we are "plugged-in" to various technological devices.  In her write-up in the New York Times of April 21, 2012 titled "The Flight from Conversation," Professor Sherry Turkle urges people not to "sacrifice conversation for mere connection."  Since we are technology-enabled, she declares that we should make the best use of it to remain conversationally connected to others whether they are near or far, but must still bring ourselves to enjoy the indispensable face-to-face conversations with our fellow human beings.
