Which sentence has a gerund functioning as the object of a preposition?

A.
Gerunds generally end in -ing, and the subject of the prepositional phrase "for meeting" is meeting, which means it is the object of a preposition.

The sentence that has a gerund functioning as the object of a preposition is A: "They thanked us exuberantly for meeting with them to discuss the deal".

Words that are formed from verbs but do not act as verbs are called verbals. This is the case of gerunds since they are formed from verbs but act as nouns.   Therefore, they behave as subjects, direct objects, objects of prepositions, predicate nouns, and more.

In this case, the gerund is "meeting". It functions as the object of the preposition "for" and it also takes complements and modifiers ("meeting with them to discuss the deal").

Ber [7]
For the answer to the question above, t<span>he quote is that we are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny." I think he means that our lives are unavoidably connected with each other -- like a network of threads that can't really be untied/unknotted, and that we share a common destiny, whatever it may be. As much as some people may want to believe and live their lives as if they are completely alone and independent of other people -- or as part of one group that can remain isolated from other groups -- he is pointing out that our fates are necessarily intertwined to some extent. He seems to be using a fabric metaphor-- a network of threads becomes a single garment which represents our collective destiny as a society. </span>
<span>You can kind of see an example of this in the economic situation in the world today. It is hard to find a place in the world today where individuals are not experiencing some effect of this economy, which is tied to gas prices, which is tied to food and commodity prices, which is tied to people paying their bills, which is tied to foreclosures, which is tied to big banks asset portfolio, which is tied to credit availability, which is tied to investor confidence, etc.... Each of us is affected somewhere along the line.</span>
