оценивая
Evaluating.
'Оценивая' is used as a present participle derived from the verb 'оценивать' (to evaluate), and it functions to indicate the ongoing action of evaluating while performing another action.
Оценивая результаты работы, мы пришли к выводу, что проект был успешным.
Evaluating the work results, we concluded that the project was successful.
'Оценивая' acts here as a participle to describe a concurrent action to the main verb 'сидела' (sat), showing simultaneous evaluation.
Она долго сидела в кафе, оценивая происходящее вокруг.
She sat in the café for a long time, evaluating what was happening around.
In this sentence, 'оценивая' again serves as a participle, depicting an action performed while preparing for the task.
