Which bold-faced term correctly indicates a gerund

English

The correct answer is: B. VACATIONING is an important thing to do with your family.

Gerunds are verbs that end with -ing but act as nouns, meaning they will function as subjects and objects. In this case, option A presents a gerund since <em>vacationing</em> serves as a direct object.

Answer:

B. VACATIONING is an important thing to do with your family

Explanation:

A gerund is a type of verbal that does not act as a verb in a sentence but as a noun. This verbal is formed with the root of a verb + the ending -ing. The word “Vacationing” in option B is an example of a gerund because it is acting as a noun in the sentence, that is, as a word that names the activity or practice of taking vacations. Besides, this gerund is also the subject of the sentence because it is what's being talked about.

What is the conflict in the book the perfect storm
SSSSS [86.1K]
The main conflict is defeating the storm.
Actually a convergence of three storms onto one Geographic location. Yikes!
Other conflicts include the shrimper's need to make more money by taking one last trip out to sea even though it was the dangerous season. The shrimper's wives obviously don't want them to go out again as they worry and don't like to be alone.
The shrimp boat owner encourages one last trip as he wants more money as well.
The shrimpers risk losing their jobs if they refuse to make the last trip.

Oxana [17]
I think the correct answer would be A. The infinitive is the most versatile verb form because it can be used as a verb, noun, adjective and even an adverb. An infinitive verb is classified as a non-finite verb wherein it could be used as the principal verb in a sentence. The infinitive verb form of a verb is commonly preceded by the word "to".  For instance: to run, to dance, to swim, to sleep etc. An example of an infinitive verb as a noun is: To swim a mile is her greatest dream. The infinitive form of the verb is "to swim"
