Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C) On the first torrid day of summer, we always enjoy swimming.

Explanation:

Gerunds are words formed by adding -ing to verbs. Even though they look like verbs, they behave like nouns, having the same functions nouns have in a sentence. A gerund can, for example, function as the subject of a sentence or the object of a verb.

In letter C, we have precisely a gerund acting as the object of the verb "enjoy". Enjoy is a stative verb, or verb of feeling. Other stative verbs are like, love, hate, mind, and stand. These verbs often taken gerunds as their objects. For example:

- Would you mind watching the kids for a moment?

- She loves reading in the evening.

In "On the first torrid day of summer, we always enjoy swimming," "swimming" is a gerund functioning as the object of the verb "enjoy".

In the poem, "A Happy Home," the author uses a metaphor to describe the characteristics of a joyful family. Create your own meta
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The title of my dish will be "A Beautiful Voice"

Explanation:

In the poem, "A Happy Home", the author uses a metaphor to describe the characteristics of a joyful family. He used the following Ingredients in describing the joyful family; 4 cups of Love, 2 cups of Loyalty, 3 cups of Forgiveness, 1 cup of Friendship, 5 spoons of Hope, 2 spoons of Tenderness, 4 quarters of Faith,

However, in creating my metaphor, the title of my dish will be "A Beautiful Voice"

My ingredients are

4 cups of Calm,

2 cups of friendship,

3 cups of vibration,

5 cups of accuracy,

5 cups of audible,

4 cups of clarity,

3 cups of strong,

4 cups of attractiveness,

5 cups of communicable.

Preparation

Mix calm and accuracy thoroughly with audible and blend it well with clarity and communicable. Then add vibrating and sweetness to it. Garnish it with friendship. Serve it with love and attractiveness.

The reason I add these three ingredients; calm, attractiveness and accuracy is that a beautiful voice must be calm so that the listeners and audience can  understand the voice, it must also be attractive to people to enjoy it and the vowels and sound must be clear and accurate for the listeners to understand the lyrics because if the voice is not accurate, the listeners would not get the sound and would not enjoy the voice.
