Answer 1

The sentence that contains a participle functioning as a verb is: "Mateo will only eat cooked carrots."

In this sentence, "cooked" is a participle that describes the carrots and functions as part of the verb phrase in this context.

However, if the focus is strictly on the participle acting as a verb, then the answer would refer to "waiting" in "The students are waiting for the bus," which is correctly functioning as a verb.

To summarize:

• "waiting" in "The students are waiting for the bus" functions as a verb.
• "cooked" in "Mateo will only eat cooked carrots" functions as an adjective.

In this case, the first option with "waiting" is the best choice.
