English

This question is incomplete, since it is missing the sentence we are supposed to analyze. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

"To the best of our knowledge, he decided that his major would be acting." Which does the sentence contain?

a) a conjunction

b) a gerund

c) an infinitive

d) a participle

Answer:

The sentence contains letter b) a gerund.

Explanation:

<u>Gerunds are formed by adding -ing to verbs, but they function like nouns in a sentence</u>.

In "To the best of our knowledge, he decided that his major would be acting," we have the verb "be" functioning as a linking verb, connecting the subject "major" to a word or words that provide information about that it. That word providing information on the subject is the gerund "acting", which therefore functions as a subject complement in this sentence.

Why are HBCUs an important part of American culture?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

HBCUs provide a stable and nurturing environment for those most at risk of not entering or completing college: low-income, first-generation college students. Many of these students are academically underprepared for college, yet they're precisely the students that the country most needs to obtain college degrees.

Do you believe that the world has changed for the better, or for the worse brainly
Neko [114]
For the worse, because of global warming Antarctica is melting which means homes are being taken away from all of the animals that live there. The earth is like a cup and about half of the cup is filled with water because Antarctica is melting the cup(earth) will fill up and eventually tip over thus causing the earth to flood, drown, and die.

Read the excerpt from Franklin Roosevelt’s request for a declaration of war. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this
Elodia [21]

The correct options are "premeditated invasion" and "grave danger".

We refer to words such as "invasion" and "danger" as loaded words because of how immediately they stick on our mind as we hear or read them inside a phrase. This occurs because the connotation and literal meaning of them is without a doubt negative, and represent very quickly the sense of a harming threat.


Hope this helps!
