The correct answer is A. Gerund

Explanation:

In grammar, the gerund and the present participle are both types of words derived from verbs and that end in -ing. For example, the words "playing", "fishing" and "golfing" can work either as a gerund or as a participle. However, there is a big difference between the function of each one, in the case of gerunds the word that ends in -ing work as a noun, which is usually the subject of a sentence; on the other hand, in the case of participles these words work as a verbs or even and adjective. Considering this, in the case of the word "Golfing" from the sentence "Golfing can be an expensive hobby", it can be concluded this word is a gerund and not a participle because "Golfing" refers to a noun and indeed is the subject or agent that performs the action "can be" instead of acting as an adjective or verb.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

You could add a conflict to make the story more interesting. For example, maybe the guy who finds a winning lottery ticket finds it on the ground, but then finds out who it really belongs to, and has to make a choice; whether he should keep it or take it to its rightful owner.

Something like that will really spice up the plot.

Which word in the sentence does the underlined phrase modify?
yan [13]
The word in the sentence which the underlined phrase modifies is:

D. Marcella

<span>The phrase adds an idea where the noun “Marcella” is resting. Therefore it answers the question “where”. This is an example of prepositional phrase which functions as an adjective. </span>

What tenets of realism are evident in Zitkala-Sa's “The School Days of an Indian Girl”?

Answer: I believe that the tenets of realism that are evident in Zitkala-Sa's “The School Days of an Indian Girl” are the struggles that Native Americans had to go through to "fit in" with the culture of the Europeans. At some point she revolts against at first, but begins to assimilate. Even after she assimilates herself she begins to find herself not belonging anywhere.

How does Zitkala-Sa's realistic representation of her experiences affect readers?

Answer: I believe that the way that Zitkala-Sa's realistic representation of her experiences affect the readers is in a way that they could empathize with the struggles that she had to go through because of the fact that her people's territory was completely overrun.

I hope it helps, Regards.
