<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.

Which detail best shapes the idea that honesty is important in friendship?
faust18 [17]

Answer: A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere.

Explanation:

The speaker says that a friend is someone they can be sincere with. This means that to the speaker, the underlying advantage of friendship is sincerity. Friends can be honest and truthful with one another more than others and so it can be said that honesty holds a friendship together.

This is why honesty is important in a friendship. If friends cannot be honest with one another, the friendship is fractured and according to the speaker, cannot even be referred to as friendship.

Must be 5 sentences ...<br><br>is it acceptable for a vexed person to kill? ​
Sauron [17]
In my opinion, no. If it was okay, the human population wouldn’t be so big for one. Also it’s not right. Yes people will test the limits, but that doesn’t give someone the right to end another’s life for it.
