Please read about participial phrases here. Then let me know what you decide.

The trick is to differentiate between when a verb is being used as the main verb of a clause and when it's being used to modify someone/something.

In three of those choices, the word "encouraged" has a subject. In one of them it doesn't.

In which ONE does it NOT have a subject?
