(Damaging) winds swept through the valley during the storm.

The (scared) child was lost and asked the store clerk for help to find her mother.

The sound of (dripping) water was irritating in the middle of the night.

(Having heard) the alarm clock ring four times, I finally got out of bed.

Answer 1

The scared child was lost and asked the store clerk for help to find her mother.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word scared is a form of the verb scare that acts as an adjective, modifying the noun child. Participles that end with -edare past participles.

Answer 2

The one with the past participle is scared. As like someone was once scared in their life. Damaging and dripping are both present participles, as it is currently happening. Having heard is a perfect participle.

So your answer to this is the second sentence. Hope that helped.
