    This document discusses reducing non-defining relative clauses to participle clauses. It provides three examples: 1) "Worn out by hunger and fatigue, the two survivors at last reached the coast" reduces "who were worn out by hunger and fatigue". 2) "Having been warned of the mice, the new tenants came prepared with traps and poison" reduces "who had been warned of the mice". 3) "Crying loudly, the baby woke up every body" reduces "who was crying loudly". The purpose is to replace non-defining relative clauses with participle clauses for brevity.
