*the police inspector looked for evidence.* he examined the apartment thoroughly. (present participle phrase)
a. looking for evidence, the police inspector examined the apartment thoroughly.
b. having looked for evidence, the police inspector examined the apartment thoroughly.
c. to have looked for evidence, the police inspector examined the apartment thoroughly

Your answer would be A.

Explanation:

A is the right answer because of the participial phrase. A participle is a verb form that functions as an adjective by modifying nouns and pronouns. What is more, a participial phrase includes the participle, plus any complements and modifiers. In this case, the participial phrase is premodifying the noun "police inspector" as he is the one looking for evidence.

hey there!

the reasoning behind university’s having students create prompts is to mainly get to know the person better. they want to know their interests, goals, personality,

it’s also a good way for the university to see the persons focuses in life. for example, if someone’s room is very organized and clean, usually all aspects of their life are the same.

so really, having people prompting to apply to a university is so the college can get more information about that person.

hope this you! if you need any more details, i’d be happy to
