<span>There is
tension in Sarah and Adoniram’s relationship. </span>
<span>
The story is set in the late 1800s, the society was a patriarchy one, meaning
that women had no value. A woman (and a mother) had to only worry about keeping
the house clean, cook, etc. Sarah and
Adoniram’s relationship was tense, just as many others during this time. </span>
<span>
In “The Revolt of Mother”, Sarah is angry at her husband because, instead of building
the house he’s been promising her for forty years, he’s building a barn for the
cows. Despite her attempts to start a conversation with him, he completely
ignored her, as he thought she, being a woman, wasn’t valuable enough to talk
with about future plans. </span>

One day, when Adoniram left town for work, Sarah decided to build up her
courage and stand up against her husband. Their son is described as a younger
version of Adoniram and their daughter was soon to be married. Sarah wanted to
set an example for her kids, she wanted to demonstrate that they have to stand
up for themselves, so that day she moved all their belongings into the barn
(which was much bigger and nicer than the house they were living in) and the
cows into their old house. When Adoniram had returned and he had seen with this
own eyes that his wife was giving orders he started crying , saying, “I hadn’t
no idee you was so set on’t as all this comes to”. </span>
Option 3: The phrase acts as a noun that is the subject of the sentence.
"Volunteering at the animal shelter in my neighborhood" is a gerund phrase (It begins with a gerund, the "ing" word, and includes others modifiers and objects), and gerund phrases always function as nouns. Therefore, the phrase in the passage acts as a noun, which at the same time is the subject of the sentence since it's what's being discussed.
