Answer:

washing dishes

Explanation:

The gerund phrase in this sentence is <u><em>washing dishes</em></u> and it is used as a <u><em>predicate nominative</em></u>.  The subject in this sentences is job, the verb is a conjugation of to be (is), and the gerund phrase washing dishes is playing the role of the object of the sentence.

Gerund phrases frequently serve as predicate nominatives and do not have to come at the end of the sentence. Another example would be:

Making noodles from scratch is my hobby.

Subject: hobby

Verb: is

Predicate Nominative (object): Making noodles from scratch

Do you think it was necessary for Buck to kill Spitz? What might have happened had Spitz survived?
Solnce55 [7]
1) It was quite necessary not only for Buck, but also for others struggling to survive in the wild North. If he hadn't killed Spitz it it could have been very dangerous for others because he was very aggressive due to the hunger. Even though he was the leader, blinded by hunger he could do anything to survive, forgetting about the rest of dogs.

2) If he hadn't died he could have get many other innocent lives, like he had done to Curley. This character yielded to the external conflict of the harsh wild conditions, and his instings were much more powerful than his sense of justice so he could have bring harm until he reached his own safety.
