1 1.Opening 2.Not knowing 3.Seen 4.Having finished 5.Night coming 6.not cleared3.受動態の分詞構文は being seen ⇒ being を省略して、過去分詞 Seen から始めます 4.had finished は主節のwent より時制が古いので、having + 過去分詞 5.Night は主節の主語 they と異なるので残します。6.not は～ing の直前に
2 Generally speaking, Kerry's mother is optimistic.
[独立分詞構文は主語を省略したものです。⇒この場合、一般の人(we)が意味上の主語なので、省略しています。]
3 1.There being no vacant seat in the bus, I kept standing.
