Answer 3

Let's analyze each option closely to identify the participle functioning as an adjective:

1. The teacher is grading papers at her desk.

   • "Grading" is a present participle, but it functions as part of the verb phrase "is grading," not as an adjective.

2. Katrina is wandering around the school looking for her brother.

   • "Wandering" is a present participle in the verb phrase, and "looking" is also a present participle describing what Katrina is doing. Neither functions as an adjective.

3. The swimming pool in my neighborhood is closed for the winter.

   • "Closed" is a past participle functioning as an adjective describing the noun "pool."

4. Mr. Wallace is meeting the principal to discuss the exam schedule.

   • "Meeting" is a present participle in the verb phrase and does not function as an adjective.

Upon reevaluating, the correct answer remains:

The swimming pool in my neighborhood is closed for the winter.

In this sentence, "closed" is correctly identified as the participle functioning as an adjective. If the system you are using has indicated otherwise, please double-check the specific requirements or guidelines they provided for the quiz.
