Answer:

The correct answer is option B. killing any sacred animals

Explanation:

A gerund phrase is a phrase consisting of a gerund, which is a noun formed by a verb root plus-ing, and any modifiers or objects associated with it. In a sentence, such gerund phrase functions as a noun and can act as a subject or an object.

In the particular sentence shown, <em>The ancient Egyptians avoided killing any sacred animals, </em>the words <em>killing any sacred animals</em> represent a gerund phrase since they fit the characteristics described before, acting in this sentence as an object.

The answer is B: killing any sacred animals.

 Gerunds are created out of verbs but <em>function as nouns</em>. The gerund phrase <em>killing any sacred animals</em> is the  direct object of the verb avoid. Gerund phrases always start with a<em> gerund</em>, <em>always functions as a noun, and they are always subjects, objects or object complements in sentences. </em>Example of a gerund phrase as a subject: <em>Eating ice cream</em> can be a good way to cool off.

Name 3 of the many clever things montresor does to lure fortunato into his trap
Vadim26 [7]

First, Montresor must hide his feelings of hatred for Fortunato. He does this so successfully that throughout the entire plan, and even at the end, Fortunato has no clue that Montresor wants to kill him.

Second, Montresor chooses Carnival time to enact his plan; this guarantees that Fortunato will not be immediately missed, buying Montresor some time if he needs it. Brilliant.

Third, Montresor must be able to bring Fortunato to his empty house. To do that, he does the simplest and most clever thing he can think of to do during Carnival time
