How is the underlined gerund phrase used in the sentence?

Reread pages 82-85. Which is Faber's most convincing argument about the value of books? Which is his least convincing argument?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Because of how much they show of the reality of life, books are dangerous, Faber says. He argues that most people would rather experience rootlessness than really think about life.

Second, books require leisure to digest: in other words, they can be difficult, and they take time, but these are attributes, not negatives. Because they require time, books can provoke thought and yield new ideas.

Finally, Faber says, books matter if people have the freedom to act on the ideas in them: just reading a book is not the end

Hope this helps :)

dentify the complete subject in the following sentence. Many of the candidates spoke at the forum last night. A. Many B. the f

SCORPION-xisa [38]

The correct answer is C. Many of the candidates.

The subject in a sentence is the noun or pronoun that is doing or being something. The verb expresses the action that the subject is doing or being. I can be a simple subject, a complete subject and a compund subject.

A simple subject is only a noun or pronoun. A complete subject includes all the modifiers. A compound subject includes more than one subject--for example, when there are two people performing an action.

In this sentence, the candidates are the ones who are speaking, so the simple subject is "candidates" and the complete subject is "Many of the candidates".
