Answer:

Yes, "insulting" is a gerund.

Explanation:

A verbal is formed using a verb, but it functions as a different part of speech in the sentence. Gerunds function as nouns in the sentence. Typically, a gerund is used as a "thing" or an "idea," and gerunds always end in "-ing"

Does the use of mascots have negative consequences or are they harmless graphics that honor native americans?
neonofarm [45]
This is more of an opinion based paper, isn't it?
in my opinion, they degrade the native americans traditions and they should not be used as mascots. some negative consequences are that people might not value the native americans as much and they may see the natives as something that is to be used for aesthetic purposes ; they may see the natives as an accesory.  one may argue that they "honor" native americans, but sometimes the mascots are used incorrectly hence why they do not honor the natives.

lord [1]
I believe that b is the correct answer. the other sentences are proper and there isn’t anything that needs to be added. for b, it seems like there should be something added after it or something like he was before the sentence starts

SHOULD WE SCOFF AT THE IDEA OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT? By James Kuzner central idea?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The central idea of the text by James Kuzner is that the very idea of "love at first sight" is possible, depending on the persons involved. Though most people may find it impossible or even improbable for love to happen in such short notice, Kuzner seems to imply that it is indeed possible.

Explanation:

James Kuzner's informational text <em>Should We Scoff at the Idea of Love at First Sight?</em> details the two contrasting yet dominating ideas of <em>"love at first sight"</em>. In his essay, he presents an argument of how both sides of the argument can be approached, but at the same time, provide a compelling approach to the idea.

The whole paper details how most people seem to denounce the theory of falling in love at first sight, or even having a connection in a short time. But while this idea may also seem impossible or even illogical, Shakespeare is proof that some people do have the connection even in such a short time of their meeting. So, while most people may not believe in the possibility of love, Shakespeare's "Romeo and Ju l iet" is proof that it is indeed possible. It all depends on the persons involved, even though there may be times when there's a conflict between love and infatuation, or even lust. Whether it be scientific experiments or surveys, there is a slight possibility that it is indeed possible for such occurrence.
