<span>(C) is the most correct answer. With new journalism, there are many more people who hold the title of "journalist" in the current climate. This makes for a great deal more competition in the race to get a scoop out to the public. Finding the hot new story and being the first to report it is becoming tougher than ever.</span>

Answer:
A gerund is a form of a verb used as a noun, whereas a participle is a form of verb used as an adjective or as a verb in conjunction with an auxiliary verb. An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that modifies a noun. This grammatical construction usually sits next to another noun and modifies it by renaming it or describing it in another way. Appositives are generally offset with commas or dashes.
Examples:
Gerund: Verb: Read; Gerund: Reading; Sentence: Her favorite hobby is reading.
Participle: A participle is an adjective made from a verb. Verb: Sleep; Participle: Sleeping; Phrase: The sleeping dog.
Appositive: Sentence: "The boy raced ahead to the finish line"; Appositive: "The boy, an avid sprinter, raced ahead to the finish line."
For the first two, the difference is really the context of the phrase/sentence. The gerund turns the verb into a noun, turning the <em>action </em>of reading into a <em>thing, </em>or a <em>hobby</em>. A participle phrase takes the <em>action </em>of sleeping and turns it into an adjective, and results in "the sleeping dog."
The verb here is "had given"; this is past perfect: it's a perfect tense, because it has a past participle with the -ed ending ("given") and it's the past perfect because the auxiliary verb is the past form of "have": had.
In Chapter 3, Atticus explains to Scout that "the Ewells had been the disgrace of Maycomb for three generations" and that "none of them had done an honest day's work in his recollection." Atticus promises to take Scout to see the Ewell house one day to show her that "they lived like animals."
