Answer:
D) The smell of burning leaves filled up the neighborhood.
here, the present participle is 'burning' which is also used as an adjective for 'leaves'.
Explanation:
A present participle is a verb which usually ends in -ing and forms a continuous tense. It can be used as an adjective as used in the example above. It can also be used as infinite clause 'Because I'm here' or as a noun 'by fast running'.
the word burning here is clearly present participle. It also serves as an adjective to 'leaves' it is describing a condition of the leaves.
Answer:
The sentence that uses participle as adjective is: Option D: The smell of burning leaves filled up the neighborhood.
Explanation:
The present participle (usually in -ing form) acts as an adjective and describes noun or other verbs. The past participle is in (-ed, -en, -d form usually) and is used as an adjective.
In Option B, burning is the present participle which is modifying the noun 'leaves'. Other participles in other options are not modifying a noun. Option A only mentions about enjoying outdoors. It is not describing any noun. Similarly, in Option B and C, participles, dancing and telling, respectively, are not modifying any nouns in the sentence, hence are not acting as adjectives.
