Thank you Damon, u 2 Ms.Sue.
I was correct. :-)

The participle in the sentence is "challenging".

To identify the participle in a sentence, you need to look for a verb that is functioning as an adjective. Participles are verb forms that can act as adjectives by modifying nouns or pronouns. In this case, "challenging" is describing the noun "song". It is derived from the verb "challenge", but in this context, it is being used to describe the characteristic of the song.
