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.

CAN SOMEONE HELP? - Compare and contrast Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" and Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Self Reliance".
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: <em> Whitman’s Leaves of Grass is the embodiment of Emerson’s Essay on Self-Reliance. It is a poem that was way ahead of its times and completely original in form, language, and ideas. It is a perfect example of what Emerson says in his Essay on Self-Reliance:</em>

<em />

<em>“A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to everyone  with a certain alienated majesty.”</em>
