English
1 answer:
Vsevolod [243]3 years ago

Answer:

<em>Gerund or gerund phrase:  </em><em>thinking</em>

<em>Noun function: </em><em>subject</em>

Explanation:

Gerund is a type of verbal which means it is a verb with a different function. In case of a gerund, it functions as a noun.

Basically recognizing gerund in a sentence is easy, it always ends in -ing.

Though it should not be confused with present participle which also ends in  -ing. Present participle acts as an adjective and it is a part of verb forms (e.g. present simple continuous).

In this sentence <em>thinking</em> answers to the question<em> what</em> (what is hard work), so that`s why it is a subject.

Which of the following would not be considered a precursor to the modern novel
Natali5045456 [20]
Well think about it for a second.

Beowulf, The Iliad, and Oedipus are all old novels/poems.

Lord Jim on the other hand was written in the 1900's. Way after the former three were written. So Lord Jim would be your answer.

Hope that helps!

<span>B) Since passengers on the train are unable to exit and reenter at the city stops.

This is a dependent clause, a fragment by itself.

C is a complete sentence - subject (the train) and verb (can be) and modifier (a convenient way to travel). </span>

The wood-cutter's song - the ploughboy's, on his way in the morning, or at the noon intermission, or at sundown;
WITCHER [35]

Two elements of structure, this portion of the poem contains repeated words and starts most lines with the same word. Thus option "A" and "C" is correct.

<h3>What is the theme of The woodcutter's song?</h3>

This poem written by Walt Whitman shows the author "listening to America sing." The sound of America is that of all those workers who make it up.

The poem is quite descriptive and shows us each type of work and the sound that each worker makes while doing it.

The way this poem is written is by using repeated words and starting most lines with the same word: "the". The structure and words used in each line are the same or very similar, only the type of work changes and who does it.

Thus option "A" and "C" is correct.
