Your answers are correct! Well done!
In the first question, the sentence "Writing is my forte" uses the word "forte" correctly, as it implies someone's strong point or area of expertise.
In the second question, the participial phrase in the sentence "Quickly grabbing my lunch, I raced out the door to the bus" is "grabbing my lunch." A participial phrase is a verb form functioning as an adjective, and in this case, it describes the action of grabbing the lunch.
In the third question, the sentence "Looking for her wallet, Danielle reached into her bag" best combines the two sentences using a participial phrase. The participial phrase "Looking for her wallet" describes Danielle's action of searching for her wallet.
In the fourth question, the infinitive phrase in the sentence "To revise your writing carefully will improve your presentation and provide you with success" is "To revise your writing carefully." An infinitive phrase consists of an infinitive verb (in this case, "to revise") and any accompanying words.
And finally, in the fifth question, the sentence "Hiking the trail yesterday made Matt tired" combines the two sentences using a gerund phrase. A gerund is a verb form ending in -ing that functions as a noun, and in this case, "Hiking the trail yesterday" acts as the subject of the sentence.
