The correct answer is A: It is a gerund functioning as a noun.
Gerunds are words formed from verbs. They function as nouns and end in -ing. Gerunds are used in sentences that convey the meaning of <u>real or complete actions.</u>
On the contrary, infinitives are verb forms that do not end in -ing. They are formed with -to preceding the verb form. They are used in sentences that convey the meaning of <u>unreal or future actions.</u>
The correct answer is The Internet provides access to information that would otherwise be unobtainable to the general public.
Explanation:
The main claim or position proposes the internet has had a negative impact on society; this is expressed in "it has actually brought more harm to society than good". In this context, it is expected the counterclaim (the statement that refuses the claim) shows Internet has great positive effects, and therefore the main claim is false. This only occurs in the option " The Internet provides access to information that would otherwise be unobtainable to the general public" because this shows an important positive effect of the internet, which is the access to information.
