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).

Answer:

It is ironic that Romeo compares Juliet to “a snowy dove trooping with crows” when he first sees her at the party because he came to the Masquerade for Rosaline, but the girl that he distinguished easily was Juliet. The previous statement in Scene 2 that this line recalls is when Benevoli stated, “Compare her face with some that I shall show, And I will make thee think thy swan a crow.” That quote was about Rosaline and it ended up being true. Romeo saw Juliet and immediately fell in love with her and found her much more beautiful.

S_A_V [24]
Shakespeare uses alliteration, end rhyme and onomatopoeia in his poem. Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound a the beginning of a group of words. An example of this is the first line: "Full fathom five thy father lies". The /f/ sound is repeated. He also uses end rhyme in his poem to create the rhyme scheme ABABCCDED. Lastly Shakepeare uses the sound device onomatopoeia. An onomatopoeia is word that sounds the same as it's meaning. An example of this is "Ding-Dong."
