Brief Explanations:

A participial phrase starts with a present or past participle. An infinitive phrase starts with "to" + verb. In sentence 3, "Annoying me into a rude awakening" is a participial phrase (present - participle "annoying") and "to buzz" in "to buzz loudly" is an infinitive phrase.

Answer:

  1. Annoying me into a rude awakening, the alarm continued to buzz loudly in my ear.
