Which participial phrase would add a sense of desperation to the sentence The student quickly jotted down his thoughts.? A) Grasping at the end of the test, B) Drumming his fingers and humming quietly, C) Glancing around the room feverishly casually, D) Relieved that he'd finally figured out a plan,

Respuesta :

The participial phrase that adds a sense of desperation to the sentence is "A) Grasping at the end of the test,."

Elimination:

  • "B) Drumming his fingers and humming quietly," does not provoke a desperate atmosphere whatsoever. The use of leisurely or easygoing words like 'drumming' and 'humming' cause the reader to envision a restful, languid student calmly relaxing. This scenario does not emulate desperation at all; thus, B) is not the answer.
