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".

D). Both discipline and love are necessary in raising a child.


You know it's "D" because his aunt is ruminating on the fact that while she is amused by Tom's scheme to get out of his punishment, she knows that she has to punish/discipline him and "do her duty" by him so he grows up to be a good man.

when white fang is an older cub, he and his mother hunt. What does the cub learn from these hunting expeditions?
Ronch [10]
White Fang learns how to track down prey, remembering that it is important to remain stealthy otherwise he would scare the prey away. Otherwise, he would have to go hungry and hunt again. It is harder in seasons when the prey is often hiding. In addition, he learns that hunting is a strong valuable skill for survival and it can help him know how to live when his mother is no longer with him to help.
