I can’t write a paragraph for you to copy/paste but a reason could be that at age 18 is the US we are officially classified as an adult. When we become adults we should be mature enough to choose who we want to vote for :).
Answer:
Type of Verbal: Gerund phrase
Verbal Phrase: Crossing the street on a red light
Explanation:
A gerund phrase is a verbal phrase that consists of a gerund (which it's made up of the verb root of a verb + -<em>ing</em>) and modifiers of that object, and sometimes, it also includes objects. The primary function of this type of phrases is to act as a noun, therefore they can be subjects, objects or complements.
In the sentence, "Crossing the street on a red light" is the gerund phrase because it has a gerund (Crossing), an object (the street) and modifiers ( on a red light). Furthermore, it is also the subject of the sentence because it is what's being described.
<u>"I understood that he spoke of the great lake of ears of corn that all of us Indians have in our heart and from which we get tiny drops of moonlight . . . "</u>
I believe its this excerpt. It seems to have a much more understanding to me that it also explains the connection between human and nature much more efficient to me than the others tho.
I hope this helps! If that's wrong. I'm terribly sorry.
