The correct answer would be TRUE. The given sentence above only uses a participle and not a participial phrase. A participle is a word that ends in either -ing (present participle) or -ed (past participle). The participle in this sentence is the word "enjoying". A participial phrase also contains a present participle and past participle but it functions as an adjective only.
