'Claiming' is a gerund. Thus, it will be labeled 'G.' 'Ignorance' is an appositive. Thus, it will be marked 'A.'

Gerund refers to a noun form that is written in the form of continuous tense. However, it is not preceded by a helping verb. The word 'claiming' is written in the continuous form but is not preceded by any helping verb.

Appositive refers to the word which is used to describe the word before the appositional word. 'Ignorance' tells us more about what is being claimed. Thus, it is an appositive.

Prepositionals refer to words that act as prepositions in a sentence. Infinitive refers to the simplest form of the verb, which is preceded by 'to.' Participles refer to verbs that indicate past or ongoing actions.

What does it mean when ones ideas must be broad as nature if they are to interpret nature?

Sonja [21]

Explanation:

''Ones ideas must be broad as nature if they are to interpret nature.'' is a quote by Arthur Conan Doyle used in his most important work ''Sherlock Holmes'' where the Sherlock is talking about this quote.

Since the nature is the widest thing in the world, people should have ideas wide as it so they can find out the idea that they are tending to. Since the Sherlock Holmes is individual detective who is researching and exploring situations, he is considering that he must have knowledge about every little thing that idea he is trying to explore.
