Which phrase in this excerpt from james joyce's "araby" is a participial phrase?
north richmond street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the christian brothers' school set the boys free. an uninhabited
house of two storeys stood at the blind end, detached from its neighbours in a square ground. the other houses of the street, conscious of
decent lives within them, gazed at one another with brown imperturbable faces.
the former tenant of our house, a priest, had died in the back drawing-room. air, musty from having been long enclosed, hung in all the rooms,
and the waste room behind the kitchen was littered with old useless papers. among these i found a few paper-covered books, the pages of
which were curled and damp: the abbot, by walter scott, the devout communicant and the memoirs of vidocq. i liked the last best because its
leaves were yellow. the wild garden behind the house contained a central apple-tree and a few straggling bushes under one of which i found
the late tenant's rusty bicycle-pump. he had been a very charitable priest; in his will he had left all his money to institutions and the furniture of
his house to his sister.

Ead the passage from "marriage is a private affair” by chinua achebe. "i shall never see her,” was the reply. from that night the father scarcely spoke to his son. he did not, however, cease hoping that he would realize how serious was the danger he was heading for. day and night he put him in his prayers. nnaemeka, for his own part, was very deeply affected by his father’s grief. but he kept hoping that it would pass away. if it had occurred to him that never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue, he might have been less optimistic. "it has never been heard,” was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later. in that short sentence he spoke for all of his people. this man had come with others to commiserate with okeke when news went round about his son’s behaviour. by that time the son had gone back to lagos. "it has never been heard,” said the old man again with a sad shake of his head. "what did our lord say? ” asked another gentleman. "sons shall rise against their fathers; it is there in the holy book.” "it is the beginning of the end,” said another. how does this passage reinforce the traditional social hierarchy? the older men in the village tell okeke that he should respect nnaemeka’s decision. the older men in the village console nnaemeka about okeke’s attitude toward his choices. the older men in the village commiserate with okeke regarding nnaemeka’s decision to disobey him. the older men in the village think that nnaemeka should be optimistic that okeke will accept his decision.
