Answer and explanation:

I was able to identify the following incorrect pronouns. As I point them out and correct them, I'll explain why they were incorrectly applied.

Ever since him or I can remember, Richard has wanted a 1973 Chevrolet Camaro. Correction: Ever since he or I can remember... ---> The pronoun needed here should function as the subject of sentence. Who can remember? He or I. "Him" is an object pronoun and cannot function as a subject. He pictures himself driving around town with Cherise, his girlfriend, and I. Correction: ... with Cherise, his girlfriend and me. ---> The pronoun needed here should function as the object of the preposition "with". With whom does he picture himself? With her and me. "I" is a subject pronoun and cannot function as an object.Those car has taken over his life. Correction: That car has taken... ---> The demonstrative pronoun has to agree with the noun it modifies. "Car" is singular, "those" is a plural pronoun. It should be substituted by that".Sometimes I stop by his house, and him and Cherise are oiling this or tightening that Cherise tells Rich and I that she loves the Camaro as much as him. Correction: ... and he and Cherise are oiling... Cherise tells Rich and me... ---> "He" instead of "him" because we need a subject pronoun. Who is oiling? He and she are. "Me" instead of "I" because we need an object for the verb tell. Whom does she tell? She tells him and me.It's not a wimpy little car like her's. Correction: It's not a wimpy little car like hers. ---> "Hers" is a possessive pronoun. It doesn't take an apostrophe.Or, at least, one day when these Camaro is running and painted, it will growl again. Correction: ... when this Camaro is running and painted... --> The demonstrative pronoun has to agree with the noun it modifies. "Camaro" is singular, "these" is a plural pronoun. It should be substituted by this".

The question is incomplete, below is the completely stated question:

Which sentence features a present participial phrase functioning as an adjective?

A. Blushing furiously, the newcomer couldn’t believe he’d been so gullible.

B. Fatigued after a long day, the woman recuperated with a quiet evening.

C. Our teacher likes to spring impromptu tests on us so we keep studying.

D. The heat radiating from the pavement caused the air to ripple and waver.

Blushing furiously, the newcomer couldn’t believe he’d been so gullible. (A.)

Explanation:

A present participial phrase is a phrase that consists of a present participle ( a word ending with '-ing') while functioning adjectivally to describe or modify a noun or a pronoun. In the options given in the question, option A contains the adjectival phrase 'Blushing furiously' with the word blushing, being the present participle form of 'blush', and the phrase modifying the noun 'the newcomer'.

Present participial phrases should not be confused for Gerunds, which also begins with an -ing word, but do not have adjectival functions. For example:

Playing the piano is Mary's hobby.

The gerund phrase in the sentence above is Playing the piano, and it functions as the subject of the verb 'is'.

On the other hand, if it is used like this:

Playing the piano, Mary did not say a word to the boys.

Here, 'playing the piano' is a present participial phrase that describes the noun Mary.
