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.

In my first week of virtual school I got to experience loads of interesting things, I really got to enjoy this first week because it was something new that I’ve never tried or thought I will get the opportunity to go through,I’m glad I got to experience online classes because it’s overall more calm and less stressful which makes me actually get excited to do class since it’s not such as overwhelming and stressful as in person class. My favorite part of virtual school learning is that, it’s easier to concentrate and get my work done since there isn’t a lot going on around me.Online learning would have to be an exciting experience overall because not many people will ever get to experience virtual classes on a daily caused by a huge dangerous pandemic.

Answer:

My judo instructor is awesome at teaching us how to grapple, but she's also very supportive in other areas of our lives. She's understanding and can almost always magically sense when something is wrong or bothering one of us. Whenever she senses that one of us is having an issue in another part of our life, she lets us take longer breaks and offers to talk if we need someone to listen. Once when I was going through a rough time, she encouraged me to just hang in there and survive, and I'm so thankful for that because the support I got from others at the time was one of the only reasons I could look forward to the next day.  She motivates us to do our best not just in judo, but outside of martial arts as well, and she encourages many of us to go out there, branch out, and explore what we want to do in life. I know many others in my judo class who decided to enter a film competition or try a new painting style or even travel to a place they've never been before because of her encouraging words. So yea, that's her, helping us with judo and life in general.
