Your answer would be that the sentence above contains a gerund phrase as the object of a preposition.
Explanation:
<em>Serving others </em>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 <em>serving others </em>acts as the object of the preposition <em>in. </em>
The correct answer is: __________________________________________________ [A]: "a gerund phrase as the object of a preposition" . _________________________________________________ Note: This phrase is: "in serving others" . _________________________________________________ The gerund is: "serving" . _________________________________________________ The preposition is: "in" . _________________________________________________
