Breathing in the first sentence is a participle acting as an adjective.

The second sentence is an auxiliary verb. is and breathing make up the verb.

Breathing is ... go no further. Breathing is the subject of the third sentence. It can only be a noun or a pronoun when it is a subject. So here it is a gerund.

Which word is a singular noun ? a) athletic b) men c) clowns d)dancers
Masteriza [31]
I believe you have a typo when it comes to the first option - it should be athletics, not athletic. The word athletic is an adjective, and the word athletics is a noun.
That being said, the correct answer is A. athletics. Even though this noun ends in -s, it is still singular. The rest of the options are all plural nouns.
