Answer: d) Antigone’s status as one of the last surviving women in the house of Oedipus helps motivate her in the play.
Explanation:
Antigone's brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, fought for the throne of Thebes and both died in the conflict. The new king Creon, honors Eteocles by burying him but leaves Polynices on the field to disgrace him.
Antigone vows to bury her brother Polynices in defiance of the law by Creon and draws her motivation to do so from her status as one of the last surviving women in the House of Oedipus.
Character motivation is the reason behind a character's behaviors and actions in a given scene or throughout a story. Motivations are intrinsic needs: they might be external needs and relate to survival, but they might also be psychological or existential needs, such as love or professional achievement.

First, you need to know what a gerund is. It refers to a word form that looks like a verb + ing. So here, the gerund phrase is <em>walking in the deep snow. </em>Also, you need to know that gerund is practically a noun in a sentence, meaning that it can function as either a subject or an object of a sentence. Here, the correct answer is the subject.
If you are unsure, you can replace the phrase with a pronoun He, for example: He made me feel... And you will know it is a subject, because the object would be Him.
