Heyo kiddo. How are you today?

The question asks, "What is the participial phrase, and which word does it modify?"

We can easily deduct from the sentence and the choices given that, " Sitting in his highchair; modifies baby."

Why?

Well just read the sentence again.

Q. What modifies the baby?

A. Sitting in his highchair.
