In this passage from the life of samuel johnson by james boswell, which of the highlighted words is a participle? eager to take any opening to get into conversation with him, i ventured to say, “o, sir, i cannot think mr. garrick would grudge such a trifle to you.” “sir,” said he, with a stern look, “i have known david garrick longer than you have done: and i know no right you have to talk to me on the subject.” perhaps i deserved this check; for it was rather presumptuous in me, an entire stranger, to express any doubt of the justice of his animadversion upon his old acquaintance and pupil. i now felt myself much mortified, and began to think that the hope which i had long indulged of obtaining his acquaintance was blasted. and, in truth, had not my ardor been uncommonly strong, and my resolution uncommonly persevering, so rough a reception might have deterred me forever from making any further attempts.

Read the excerpt from twelfth night, by william shakespeare. if music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die. that strain again! it had a dying fall: o, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound, that breathes upon a bank of violets, stealing and giving odour! now read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." for i have known them all already, known them all: have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, i have measured out my life with coffee spoons; i know the voices dying with a dying fall beneath the music from a farther room. what does the phrase “dying fall” most likely mean in both excerpts? the noise is jarring. the noise is soothing. the sounds are fading. the sounds are too loud. mark this and return
