I guess that that quote said by Marmee means that Meg should develop skills and qualities which are praiseworthy, such as being hardworking, honest, and generally good, which people deem to be the qualities that a decent human being should have. She also mentions that even though she may be pretty, Meg shouldn't be vain about it, and should strive to have good inner qualities besides those outward ones.
1. flying
As the directions state, a participle is a verb. Both flying and headed are verbs. However, headed is used as an action verb in the sentence. It is what the geese are doing. Flying is an adjective describing the geese as "flying by". You should be able to cross out the participial phrase and the sentence will still make sense as in "The geese are headed south for the winter."
2. B. Clapping wildly.
Clapping wildly is the participial phrase. It describes the audience. Option C contains the main verb of the sentence "shouted" so this is not a participial phrase. Option D has an infinitive "to come".
3. cat
The participial phrase in the sentence is "hearing the footsteps of its owner". The cat is what hears the footsteps.
Principles or standards of behavior i<u>s the best definition of the term values</u>. Values are principles, standards that an individual/group of people hold in high regard (something that we hold dear, those qualities which we consider to be of worth). They are formed by a particular belief that is related to the worth of an idea or type of behavior. Their purpose is to guide the way we live our lives and the decisions we make (they can influence many of the judgments we make). Honesty, justice, and generosity are some examples of values.
