<u>Answer:</u>
Gerund phrase in the given sentence is ‘reading about history’.
<u>Explanation:</u>
A gerund are words formed with a “verb” ending with ‘ing’ but they act as nouns. For example: swimming, reading, drinking etc can be used as “gerunds”.
A “gerund phrase” will begin with gerund and include other objects and modifiers. The entire gerund phrase acts as noun in the sentence. For example, in the sentence, “I recommend reading books at home”, gerund phrase is ‘reading books at home’.
In the given sentence, gerund phrase ‘reading about history’, begins with gerund - ‘read’+ ‘ing’. It is acting as direct object here. If you ask a question, what Caroline loves? Answer is ‘reading about history’.

I think you forgot to write an interduction and a conclusion which states what you are trying to prove for example if you where trying to prove that you are the best and thats what you belive the reading states (sry the only thing came to mind) then you would write. "In (where you read from like a book) by (author) the theme (or what you are explaning) is that I am the best." And then add all the examples and everything and for the conclusion you would put. "In conclusion this reading states that I am the best." And by the way NEVER put In conclusion this is why I am the best. ok Good luck!
