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.

Read the definition.

Answer: Hi there! I'd say that the term that best fits this definition is a coordinating conjunction.

Explanation: (I hope that you don't mind me citing from a previous answer of mine to explain this.) Coordinating conjunctions are commonly called FANBOYS. It is an acronym that represents the following words:

  • <em>F</em><em>or</em>
  • <em>A</em><em>nd</em>
  • <em>N</em><em>or</em>
  • <em>B</em><em>ut</em>
  • <em>O</em><em>r</em>
  • <em>Y</em><em>et</em>
  • <em>S</em><em>o</em>

All the terms listed above can be used to connect independent sentence clauses, like this:

  • I want toast, eggs, and orange juice.  
  • They wanted to come to the party, but their mom said no.
  • Jax is not helping us, so we'll have to do all the work ourselves!

I hope that this helps! :)

How do different writers incorporate them into their works

Incorporate what? if you mean their selfs then i would say by giving a spice of them self or make their story have some character that relates to them, but then again the story itself is them already.
