Answer:

Your answer would be that the sentence above contains a gerund phrase as the object of a preposition.

Explanation:

Serving others is a gerund phrase. Gerunds are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. This means that they can act as subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, objects of prepositions, and predicate nouns. In this case, the gerund phrase serving others acts as the object of the preposition in.

Identify the function of the infinitive phrase. To win a marathon is my goal. subject, object of the verb, object of the preposi

gayaneshka [121]

The function of the infinitive phrase in the sentence To win a marathon is my goal is object of the verb.
It is definitely an object, and it would follow a verb if it were a normal ordering of words in the sentence (My goal is to win a marathon), and since it is not preceded by a preposition, it cannot be object of the preposition, but of a verb.
