Virty [35]3 years ago
4 0

The sentence which correctly uses a gerund is, 'Shoveling snow is hard work and good exercise.'

Answer: Option C.

Explanation:

Gerunds are the words that are usually derived from a verb but that acts as a noun. It is very easy to figure out gerund in a sentence because every gerund is a Verb which ends with an 'ing' at the end of the word. In the sentence 'Shoveling snow is hard work and good exercise', shoveling acts as a gerund mainly because shoveling is a verb that ends with an ing.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The field of developmental psychology deals with changes in mental and behavioral performance over time. Although the field began  with a focus on child psychology, it has grown to track changes throughout a lifetime.

Explanation:

The original passage is-

<em>The field of developmental psychology deals with changes in mental and behavioral performance over time, the field began with a focus on child psychology, it has grown to track changes throughout a lifetime.</em>

Now, the problem in the above passage is in the use of the comma between the three independent sentences. To make the passage complete and correct, the first part of the passage will be taken as a single sentence. Then, with the remaining two sentences, the conjunction "although" can be used to present and join the two independent sentences.

Thus, the correct sentence is the second option.

Read William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18. Note that it is divided into three quatrains followed by a concluding couplet. Which two s
MAXImum [283]

The ninth line of the sonnet brings in a major change of tone. Shakespeare jumps on elaborating the immortality of his lover rather than continuing the criticism of the sun.  Moreover, the limitations of nature are replaced by his lover’s thoughts and he claims that his darling is not bounded by the rules that are being displayed.

In line-4, the summer is stated as ”eternal summer”, since it keeps returning every year. And noticing from the previous personifications employed in the sonnet, we can easily recognize the similarity between “summer’s day” and “thee”. Both can be eternal or can fade with time. This is the major reason why the author takes a turn on line-9, as both of them have only one threat-time; and the third force that can eternalize them both is the poetry that the author has created.

To conclude, we can easily notice the turn in topic and breaking of the stanza.
