Which sentence does NOT use a gerund?

English
1 answer:
wlad13 [49]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:C) Peter is exercising because he wants to be on the lacrosse team.

Explanation:

A gerund is formed <em>when we add -ing to a verb</em>. It functions as a noun in a sentence, while gerund/gerund phrase can be a subject or an object (direct/indirect) of a sentence. For example, gerund form of the verb<em> 'to read'</em> is <em>reading. </em>

However, gerund should not be confused with continuous tenses. In sentence - <em>Peter is exercising because he wants to be on the lacrosse team</em>, <em>is exercising</em> is not a gerund, but is a verb form, present continuous tense of verb<em> to exercise</em> (verb to be + ing form).

America the Not-So-Beautiful
Temka [501]

Answer:

A The author uses loaded language when he says, “Some of the things we're throwing away are poisoning the Earth and will eventually poison all of us and all living things,”

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from America the Not-So-Beautiful by Andrew A. Rooney, the author talks about the dangers of improperly disposing waste. He tries to convince Americans that they should dispose of their waste properly.

The author uses loaded language to convey his point of view about throwing things away by saying that Americans are "wasteful and we don't want to fix anything, so if something is broken we will just buy a new one". He also says that some of the things "we're throwing away are poisoning the Earth and will eventually poison all of us and all living things".

Loaded language is a type of rhetoric that is used to have an impact on an audience by triggering an emotional response by using strong words or phrases.
