PLEASE ASAP Which sentence contains a participial phrase?
A Afterward, we all laughed at the ridiculousness of it.
B When I went home, I discovered that I had left my bag at school.
C The mayor addressed the crowd's concerns about the transportation crisis. D Exhausted and stressed out, Darnell closed his textbook.

I believe it is D.

Why do you think so?

Well, A participial phrase is a group of words consisting of a participle and the modifier(s) and/or (pro)noun(s) or noun phrase(s) that function as the direct object(s), indirect object(s), or complement(s) of the action or state expressed in the participle, such as: Removing his coat, Jack rushed to the river. -A website I cannot name because of Brain.ly's Guidelines.

And since D: "Exhausted and stressed out, Darnell closed his textbook."  has a participle, modifiers, and a noun phrase.

Note: Sorry if this took long, I had to do some research. ^^

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
