Explanation:

A participial phrase is formed by a present or past participle followed by a complement (nouns, pronouns, or a phrase). Participial phrases function as adjectives in the sentence, modifying a noun. In sentence 1 the participial phrase begins with the past participle "seen", while in sentence 3 it begins with the present participle "leading".

A present participle is formed by the base form of a verb and -ing. Example: worrying, dancing, gliding, screaming.

Finally, an elliptical adverb clause functions as an adverb in a sentence, modifying a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. It is called elliptical because one of its elements is implied. In option A of number 4, the element that is implied is the verb that is supposed to follow the subject "Talia":

- Ella spent more time studying than Talia (did).
