Answer:
Cutting our own tree at Christmas time is a special celebration in our home.
Losing my wallet caused me great inconvenience.
I save money by watching for the sales.
Explanation:
A gerund is a word formed from a verb by adding<em> -ing</em> that acts as a noun. It has some properties of a verb, though, as it can be modified by an adverb and take a direct object.
An example of a gerund used in a sentence:
- <em>Reading </em><em>is good for you. </em>(<em>Reading - read + ing</em>. It acts as a noun and it's the subject of the sentence).
A gerund phrase is a phrase that contains a gerund and other modifiers or objects associated with it (<em>Cutting our own tree at Christmas time, Losing my wallet</em>).
The correct answer is the first option - <span>The sentence is correct as written.
The word 'dancers' is plural, which means that the verb which agrees with that subject also has to be plural. In the original sentence, the verb 'continue' is plural, which is why it is the only correct option. All other options have singular verbs and are therefore incorrect.</span>
The figurative language would be “..that nipped him sharply and bit with especial venom”
Hope this helps!
