"Hiking through these mountain ranges is very challenging." The active verb is "is". There is also a gerund, "hiking" which serves as the subject of the sentence. The subject clause is "Hiking through these mountain ranges", so even though "hiking" is a verb form, a gerund, it is not the verb in this sentence; it is part of the subject clause.
The rest of the passage contains other types of verb clauses, so you need to study those until you understand them! (:
This is a very true statement. Skin color shouldn’t matter because we are all still human.
However I’ve noticed that there is still so much racism in the world, especially in America.
That’s why I support movements such as the Black Lives Matter movement. I believe it has shown light on all the racism and mistreatment that is still in America.
I hope that soon everyone will have equal opportunities and people of color won’t have to worry about racism and police brutality.
No matter what race dominates a society I believe everyone in the society should be seen as equal and have equal opportunities.
These words give the reader a feeling of hope either for the main character or another character. It lightens the mood and stresses a more positive scenario.
