Answer:

The gerund or gerund phrase in the sentences above are the following ones: racing (1), collecting coins (2), digging in the garden (3), hooking the cars together (4), and exercising dailly (5).

Explanation:

Gerunds are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. Thefore, they can act as subjects, objects of prepositions, or subject complements. In this case, the gerund is acting as a subject in sentences 1, 2, 5. Then, the gerund phrases act differently. The one in sentence 3 acts as subject complement and 4 as the object of the preposition <em>by. </em>

The difference between a gerund and a gerund phrase is that the latter has objects (complements or modifiers that act together to behave as a noun).

Galina-37 [17]

Contrastive distribution occurs when  two sounds placed in the same context produce different meanings.  This is the case in the sounds [k] and [x] . For example: <em>[kano] 'do' versus [xano] 'lose'. </em>

The same happens with the sounds [ç] and [c]. They are in constrastive distribution as in shown in the following example: <em>[çino] 'pour' versus [cino] 'move </em>

In complementary distribution, where one sound occurs the other cannot.  This is the case in  the sounds [k] and [c] The first sound  (palatal stop) appears before front vowels whereas the second sound (velar stop) appears elsewhere.

The sounds [ç] and [x] are also in complementary distribution. As in the previous example, the palatal appears before front vowels and the velar appears elsewhere

Which lines in this excerpt from W.B. Yeats's "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" suggest that the speaker's choice to become a
Vinil7 [7]
The first part when he says he "shall meet my fate" could allude to a choice of joining. This could allude to an acceptance of fate sort of standard and that he made his decision. Another is the last two lines when he says "Nor law... nor cheering crowds." This quotation shows that the government, the duty to his country, the men around him, and those at home cheering them on did not persuade him to fight. In the second last line this is known when he states "nor law nor duty bade me fight".
