The cookies were burning on the stove, much to my horror.

Answer: Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In English Grammar, verbs are known as the action words. The words which show that some kind of action is being done or was being done are known as verbs in the English Grammar.

In the above sentence, since the word burning shows that the cookies were burning means that it is a verb since some kind of action was being performed. And it ends with ing, this means that it is the present participle of the verb burn.

Book Title: Think And Grow Rich

Author: Napoleon Hill

The book was exactly what I saw in the movie directed by a Nigerian movie director Ossy Affasson. The movie title ABIKU.

In the western part of Nigeria where I come from, there is a belief of reincarnation and fetish practices is also honored at high. A boy came from the family of seven and he happen to be the fourth child in this family been disturbed by what is been known and believed as Water Spirit (ABIKU). On a faithful day, the boy sat down and was thinking deep why his family is so wretched and nothing seems to be working out. He decided to go into the forest to ask the gods why the penury. When he got into the forest he sat at a corner with one of the green leaves with his face bent beneath his knee. He was in a deep thought of what to do and liberate the current status of his family. On the process of his thought, a spirit touched him and he speedily looked up but saw no one. He was afraid but decided to stay to confirm if what he felt was real. Behold an old woman tapped him after few minutes then he sprang up. The old woman started giving him assignments on what to do to liberate his family and become a rich man. She gave him two leaves and tell him to go a particular village there is a rich man there and he has been suffering from a very strong infirmity and the family has taken him almost round the world yet no cure. She told him what and how to use the leaves when he get there. The boy got up and as he was about to move, the woman disappears. He then followed the directives of this woman and upon getting to the village the servants of this rich man did not let him in. He tried to convince them about his journey from another village for a purpose of healing the man. They laughed at him calling him names and making mockery of this young man. At the end in summary, he was able to administer his medication and the man was health and that's how his deep though mad him grow rich as the man shared his wealth into two and gave him one for restoring his life again.

He thought deep, make a move in quest of liberating his family and finally he grew rich.
