Answer 2

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Past participle is the past tense of any verb, majorly identified by the addition of -ed in the word. In simple terms, it is the past form of a verb.

Among the given examples of four sentences provided, the sentence with the word "scared" is the correct answer with its use of the -ed in the verb form of "scare". The other options such as "damaging" and "dripping" are the present participle form of the verb while the verb "having heard" is a perfect participle form of the verb.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
