English

Answer: C) lying to cover up a mistake is unwise and dishonest

Explanation:

Gerund is a word ending in<em> -ing</em> that is made from a verb. For example, the gerund form of the verb <em>'to look'</em> is <em>looking</em>. Gerund always functions as a noun.

Gerund phrases are phrases that start with a gerund. Both gerund forms and gerund phrases can function as a subject or an object (direct/indirect) in a sentence.

In the last sentence, <em>'lying'</em> is gerund, while <em>'lying to cover up a mistake'</em> is a gerund phrase that functions as a subject.

sladkih [1.3K]

Hello.

I think is the last one.

The last paragraph explains that too many false alarms can be dangerous to one's health, which is important to explain since the rest of the passage seems to promote stress as a way to survive or thrive in moments of crisis.

Hope this helps.
