Tanya Henson · Answer 1

The correct answer is A ... The participle is "subjected" (past participle, to be precise); it begins the adjectival phrase "subjected to ridiculous laws". This phrase modifies/describes the noun "Jews". The participial phrase could also follow the word "Jews," but it would then be sandwiched between commas.

The answer is A, Jews would come after the comma
