Participles are sometimes confused with verbs because they are made up of:
1) verb + –ing form . This is called PRESENT PARTICIPLE and it has the function of an adjective (not a verb)
Example: The singing bird is beautiful. The word “singing” modifies the noun “bird” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The bird that sings is beautiful.”
2) Verb+ ed / past participle form. This is called PAST PARTICIPLE and it has also the function of an adjective as it provides information or qualities of a noun.
Example: The wounded dog was crying all night. The word “wounded” modifies the noun “dog” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The dog which was wounded was crying all night”

"A narrow fellow in the grass...
------------------------------------------------
Yet when a child, and barefoot,
I more than once, at morn..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dickinson also said how the snake seemed scary to a lot of people, but in reality it was not:
"But never met this fellow,
Attended or alone,
Without a tighter breathing,
And zero at the bone.
The third one, roundabout answer.
<span>The given choices are all
relevant to what is asked. They can all be used depending on the type of essay
you are crafting. If you are writing a humorous message, a humorous anecdote as
an ending can be effective. If you’re writing a formal, informative essay, a formal summary of your overall message
would make sense. If you are promoting your own ideals and beliefs, you can
either ask the reader to take some kind of action or end on a note that's likely to stick
in the reader's mind. There is no definite answer here since it would
largely depend on your essay type. </span>
