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.
Hope this helps!

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").

what would be an example of foreshadowing in a story about a girl who fails to get a part in a play she wants
snow_lady [41]

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which an author hints at what is coming later in the story. It helps the reader develop expectations about the upcoming events, and therefore, it of often used at the beginning of a story or chapter. It also creates an atmosphere of suspense, so that readers become more interested in it. Foreshadowing can be achieved through various means, such as character dialogues, plot events and changes in setting.

For example, in a story about a girl who fails to get a part in a play, a way to foreshadow the event would be through the character's thoughts. Perhaps she is very nervous and she is convinced she will fail before the audition, so that we know it is a very likely outcome that that will happen. Narration is another method. A narrator could tell you, before her audition, something about how "she did not know how disastrous that day would turn out to be," therefore implying that she will not get the part.

The correct answer is - <span>the speaker’s desire to cure himself from the pain caused by Lenore’s death.
</span>
The balm of Gilead is first mentioned in the Bible, as a medicinal herb used to cure ailments. When Poe mentions it in his poem "The Raven," it means that the balm is the cure for the protagonist's pain after his beloved died. He asks the raven whether he will ever be able to let go of his pain, and the raven's answer is, of course, "nevermore."
