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. Alr, 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 curied 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

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Being blind.

Explanation:

Participial phrase is a group of words consisting of a participle (present or past participle) which acts as a main word, and a modifier ( present participle ends on -ing, while past participle has different suffixes which depends on the verb is regular or irregular). Whatever participle it may be, these phrases always act as an adjective in a sentence, modifying nouns. Knowing this, the only possible answer is being blind; other answers don't contain present or past participle. Also, this phrase modifies the word street, which is a noun, so it functions as an adjective.
