Option 3: The phrase acts as a noun that is the subject of the sentence.

"Volunteering at the animal shelter in my neighborhood" is a gerund phrase (It begins with a gerund, the "ing" word, and includes others modifiers and objects), and gerund phrases always function as nouns. Therefore, the phrase in the passage acts as a noun, which at the same time is the subject of the sentence since it's what's being discussed.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Your answer would be that <em>consideration</em> is the zombie noun in the sentence above.

Explanation:

The sentence above contains a zombie noun, <em>consideration. </em>Zombie nouns, also called nominalizations, are nouns formed from verbs by adding a suffix. In this case, the verb from which the nominalization is derived from is <em>consider. </em>

When using the verb instead of the noun, you make your writing more powerful. If you replaced the nominalization with the verb, the sentence would be as follows: Our purchasing department will consider the RFP submitted by Powertex.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Landing on the Island

For the boys of Lord of the Flies, the island represents both their temporary home as well as their prison. There is no escape, unless they can signal to a passing boat or plane using a fire. From what they can tell, it 'was roughly boat-shaped: humped near this end with behind them the jumbled descent to the shore. On either side rocks, cliffs, treetops and a steep slope: forward there, the length of the boat, a tamer descent, tree-clad, with hints of pink: and then the jungly flat of the island, dense green, but drawn at the end to a pink tail.' The primary parts of the island are the the mountain on one end of the island; Castle Rock, a pink stone formation on the other end; the beach where the boys washed up after the plane crash; the jungle in the middle of the island; and the lagoon, 'a long, deep pool in the beach with a high ledge of pink granite at the further end.' In this apparent paradise, the boys initially think of themselves as kings unfettered by the demands of grownups. While the island appears to be a place of freedom, it actually traps the boys, physically and mentally.
