Answer:

C. The horses pulled the wagon up the hill, trotted down the other side, and then paused to rest at a stream.

Explanation:

A sentence with a parallel structure concerns the repetition of a chosen grammatical form to show that the ideas presented are equally important and to give a natural flow to the reading. This construction uses words, phrases or clauses that are grammatically similar in structure, sound, meaning, or meter, like the sentence from option C, which contains clauses that repeat the same verbal tense: the simple past tense (“pulled,” “trotted” and “paused”).

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The gerund phrases are:

"Being the accounts manager" (Subject)
"blowing bubbles to his little sister" (Subjet Complement)

Gerund phrases begin with a gerund or -ing word, and include other modifiers and objects. They function as nouns, and can be the subject, subject complement or direct object of the sentence.

The rest of the alternatives are not gerund phrases because options one and three possess an infinitive verb ("to bring" and "to win"), and "Hiking for two hours" is a present participle clause.

Choose the appositive in this sentence.

Nikitich [7]

A period! An appositive is a noun that comes after another noun to rename it or describe it. In the sentence, "the correct punctuation" is then redefined as "a period"
