Answer:

gerund, not a participle

Explanation:

The antique painting was sold for $100,000. The italicized word is the gerund. This word is a gerund because it is functioning as a noun. Gerunds have nominal functions. Painting is synonymous wit picture .Participles do not; they denote actions. For example: " I saw her painting the wall" carries a participle: painting. It can be corrected as "I saw her when she was painting the wall."  Notice how the full past continuous has been retrieved. This means auxiliary + participle.

bulgar [2K]
To be honest, I googled this, so reword your answer, but hopefully this helps.

Family

In the book, Bud's mother passed away when he was just six years old. Since then, he has been living in foster homes and orphanages. He only as a couple of items that were his mother's to remember her by. One of the items is a flyer for a musician, Herman E. Calloway. Bud is convinced that this is his father and sets out to find him. Throughout the book, Bud is determined to find the man who he thinks is his father. This illustrates the theme of the importance of family.

Bud finds out the Herman E. Calloway is not his father, but his grandfather. Bud then is left to wonder why his mother ran away from her family, and if she was unhappy enough to run away, why did she keep flyers of her father and his band? These questions once again center around the theme of family importance.

Hey Again!

The answer is A. Several members of the Democratic party speak both Spanish and English.


The name of the party is "Democratic" and a name is a noun so ut must be capitalised, and Spanish and English are capitalised because they are languages, and also nouns. So, the correct sentence is A.
