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.

300 word essay about the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The beginning of Act 2, Scene 2, is set in the Capulet's orchard where Romeo has escaped from his friends after the Capulet party in hopes of seeing Juliet. While he is hidden in the orchard, Juliet comes to the balcony and, thinking she is alone, professes her love to Romeo.The balcony scene is sooo romantic in a way that it does influence the audience in a way of telling them about the passionate Romeo and Juliet.Romeo and Juliet are so passionate, the way that they have just left everything/everyone behind and gone for their love. It tells the audience that something is impetuous there. Like they really wanted to express there feelings for each other . But they are confused on there relationship because they are on different color teamsIt's sneaky. Romeo trips upon Juliet talking about how she feels about Romeo and then he gets nervous: Shall I hear more or shall I speak at this? Once he reveals his location, they are in it together. About 5 times, Juliet shares her fear of Romeo getting caught for being there; no doubt she's concerned for her association with him as well. Of course love is the central agenda of their discussion, but the growing secrecy and sneakiness evolve as she hears the nurse calling and as they make a plan for when they are going to see each other again.When Romeo sees Juliet at her window he falls in love with her enchanting beauty. The scene takes place in the dark night. Romeo says the words in praise of Juliet. He says that Juliet's beauty is like a bright sun which has the power to transform the darkness of the night into daylight. He personifies the moon to be “sick and pale with grief” because of the brightness of Juliet as a sun. The motif of light and dark is prevalent throughout the play. The balcony scene shows the tragic flaw between the two lovers Romeo and Juliet. This influences or shows how the young lover’s death are lead up to. How there deaths came to be.
