1. The participial phrase in the sentence "They heard the girl crying softly in the restaurant" is "crying softly."
To identify the participial phrase, you need to look for a verb that ends in -ing that is modifying a noun or pronoun. In this case, the verb "crying" is acting as a present participle, and it is modifying the noun "girl." Therefore, the participial phrase is "crying softly."
2. The sentence that best combines the two sentences using a participle phrase is option C: "Danielle, who was looking for her wallet, reached into her bag."
To create a participle phrase, you need to use a past or present participle along with a subject. In this case, the past participle "looking" is used, and it modifies the subject "Danielle." Adding the relative clause "who was looking for her wallet" provides additional information about Danielle. Therefore, option C is the correct sentence that uses a participle phrase.
