Smiling ear to ear, Jillian took the adorable puppy named Knuckles into her hands and hugged him tightly. Which noun or pronoun does the participial phrase smiling ear to ear describe? Her Him Jillian Knuckles

Jillian

Explanation:

The sentence says that Jillian smiled ear to ear while taking the adorable puppy.

Otherwise, we could use the process of elimination:

It couldn't be "Her" because the sentence is "her hands."

It couldn't be "him" because "him" is the dog.

It couldn't be Knuckles because

1. Jillian was the one smiling

2. a dog probably couldn't smile ear to ear (that would look creepy)

Hope this helps :)

the nation will get back everything that was lost

hope this

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people
