In which sentence is the word 'exiting' a gerund?

English

The correct answer is C.

A gerund is a verb ending in -ing that functions as a noun.

In "Check the smokes detector before exiting" <em>exiting</em> is not functioning as the continuous form of the verb "to exist" but as a noun.

A is wrong because "parking" and "exiting" are both functioning as adjectives.

B is wrong because "visiting" is functioning as an adjective, and "exiting" comes after "were" and therefore is a verb.

C is wrong because of the same reason as the second part of B. "Were exiting" is a verb.

irinina [24]

Answer: Paraphrasing plagiarism

Explanation: Although the student acknowledge the original author in the first sentence by putting it in quote and citing the author, the student just paraphrased the next sentence without putting it in quote and without citation. That is definitely plagiarism. Paraphrasing plagiarism is the act of changing the wordings of the original idea or work of the author while it still has thesame meaning and not give citation of the source.
