<span>The correct answer is C. Swimming is great cardiovascular exercise.

In this sentence, "swimming" is a gerund. It functions as the subject of the sentence. In the first option, "swimming" is part of the verb phrase ("were swimming"). In the second option, "swimming" is part of the adjective and describes the team. Only in the final sentence does "swimming" function as a noun, or a gerund.</span>

Answer:

Swimming is great cardiovascular exercise.

Explanation:

A gerund is a verb that ends with the <em>ing</em> form (or the present participle form), however, it does not act as a verb but as a noun. In the sentence "Swimming" is acting as a noun (It refers to the skill of swimming or the sport of swimming itself) and it's the subject as well as it is what is being dealt with in the sentence.

elixir [45]
#1) write an essay where you analyze the tone the character Marullus uses to express his interpretation of Caesar's return.
Answer: His tone is that of someone that is worried or even alarmed at Caesar’s return after he defeated his rival and also former co-ruler Pompey. Marullus knew that this victory would mean that Caesar will be the most powerful man in Rome. For this same reason he felt in a very dangerous position. He assumed that Caesar would soon impose one-man rule. Marullus joins Flavius who feels the same way to try and put a stop to Caesar. 
#2) How this is similar or different from the interpretation the painter has depicted?
Answer: It is clear that the interpretation the painter has depicted is very different. This is apparent when you compare the painting to the word that Marullus himself used to describe the return of Caesar. In the painting it seems as though Marullus is impressed by Caesar’s feat. I believe he was just putting up a front while deep down he felt disgusted just looking at caesar in his glory moment.

Explain Renaissance philosophies of Humanism and Secularism. Your answer should be at least one hundred words.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Renaissance humanism is the revival/ re-interest of the ancient arts and preferring human qualities rather than the divine ones. Secularism is also almost the same as it also laid more importance on the state rather than the religious aspect of human society.

Explanation:

Renaissance  is the 'rebirth' or revival of the classics, first in Italy and then spread to the other parts of Europe. Humanism is the approach or outlook of thoughts that gives importance to the humanistic values/ elements rather than the divine beings. It is basically the preference of humans over divine elements, with human qualities having more importance than the supernatural ones. The rediscovery of the studying of the ideas and arts of the past civilizations occur in this movement, with a newfound interest in the ancients. Renaissance humanism dominated the Renaissance era with its preference of ancient texts over the contemporary philosophy and arts.

Secularism, on the other hand, fully separates the state and the religious aspects of the society or human community. There is no connection whatsoever in the two. The participation of religion is allowed but not in a dominating way. It ensures that there is no extreme power of religion or act of religious beliefs over the affairs of the state.

Thus, it can then be concluded that the Renaissance humanism and secularism have a sort of some similarity in their division/ preference of human qualities rather than the divine/ religious ones.
