The italicized words make up which type of verbal phrase?

Turning the corner, Kate bumped into David.

ASplit infinitive
BParticipial
CInfinitive
DGerund

Verified Answer :

Every gerund/participle ends in -ing, so you can know for sure that the answer is one of these two. Since here turning is used with an adverbial function (that is, it is basically an adverb - it tells us WHEN Kate bumped into David), the correct answer is B) participial. 

Answer:

B. Participial took the test and this was the correct answer.
