In the first sentence, "They heard the girl crying softly in the restaurant," the participial phrase is "crying softly." You can identify it by recognizing that it begins with the present participle "crying" and functions as an adjective to describe the girl.

In the second sentence, "Mike was running quickly. Mike won the race," the best sentence that combines the two using a participial phrase is option c. "Running quickly, Mike won the race." This uses the present participle "running" to create the participial phrase "running quickly," which describes Mike's action.

In the third sentence, "Our soccer team practices three times a week in the late afternoon," the prepositional phrase is "in the late afternoon." You can identify it by recognizing that it begins with the preposition "in" and functions to show when the soccer team practices. The correct answer is option d. "in the late afternoon."
