1: Upon entering the grocery store, I headed directly for the flower department, where I spotted numerous pink tulips. As I tenderly rested the tulips in my rusty shopping cart, I caught the sent of minty dried eucalyptus, so I added the lovely forest-green bouquet of eucalyptus to my cart.
2: Learning how to ride a bike for the first time was a nerve racking yet independent moment. I was nearly six years old when my father told me I was too old for training wheels. Even though I disliked the idea, I allowed my father to remove the wheels from my bike. I had slowly gotten on the bike and gripped the handles as tightly as if my life depended on it. My father held me up in the bike, and gave a great push to get me going. I was so nervous, I hadn't noticed he let go a long time ago. Of course I fell while riding for the first time, but seeing how my father let go and I was still going excited me for the times I wouldn't have to have him push me to get me going.
sorry if these are incorrect or provide little help
Answer:C)
Peter is exercising because he wants to be on the lacrosse team.
Explanation:
A gerund is formed <em>when we add -ing to a verb</em>. It functions as a noun in a sentence, while gerund/gerund phrase can be a subject or an object (direct/indirect) of a sentence. For example, gerund form of the verb<em> 'to read'</em> is <em>reading. </em>
However, gerund should not be confused with continuous tenses. In sentence - <em>Peter is exercising because he wants to be on the lacrosse team</em>, <em>is exercising</em> is not a gerund, but is a verb form, present continuous tense of verb<em> to exercise</em> (verb to be + ing form).
