Answer:
A. In the selected sentence, the word gardening is a gerund, and the gerund phrase functions as the subject.
Explanation:
A gerund is seen in a sentence when a verb which stops with"ing" acts as a noun. It can also act as a subject, predicate noun, objects of the preposition, and direct objects in a phrase. Examples are, I love playing on the tiles, when are you going to visit her? I love eating fried plantain, dancing is my hobby, etc.
Given the above, the word "Gardening" is a gerund that acts as a subject in the sentence.
Question 1
Tony didn’t want to do anything heroic but he felt like he had to when no one else stepped up. How often is that true in life?

Throughout The Giver, Lowry attempts to awaken each and every reader to the dangers that exist when people opt for conformity over individuality and for unexamined security over freedom. At one time in the past, the people who inhabited Jonas' community intended to create a perfect society. They thought that by protecting the citizens from making wrong choices (by having no choices), the community would be safe. But the utopian ideals went awry, and people became controlled and manipulated through social conditioning and language. Now, even the expression "love" is an empty ideal. For example, when Jonas asks his parents if they love him, his mother scolds him for using imprecise language. She says that "love" is "a very generalized word, so meaningless that it's become almost obsolete." To Jonas, however, love is a very real feeling.
