A. Найдите в каждом предложении подлежащее и ска­
зуемое и так называемый " Независимый причаст­
ный оборот", который включает существительное
(иногда с предлогом with) и причастие с относя­
щимися к нему словами; причём существительное,
стоящее перед причастием, никогда не совпадает
с подлежащим всего предложения.
