To identify the participle and the word it modifies in the given sentence, we first need to understand what a participle is. A participle is a verb form that can function as an adjective. It typically ends in "-ed" (past participle) or "-ing" (present participle).
In the given sentence, the participle is not present. Instead, there is an adjective: "hateful." Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns.
So, the correct answer is B. "hateful" modifies the noun "words."
