Answer:

The answers would be:

1) A

2) B

3) B

Explanation:

Gerunds are usually words that end in "ing" so the words "spelling" and "rescuing" are gerunds. Gerund phrases are parts of sentences that include the gerund and that action of the gerund.

(I got mixed up on question 2 because I forgot that question said <em>phrase </em> and not <em>word</em>)

Participles are usually words that end in "ed", so the word "stunned" would be the the participle in the sentence of "Sandy was stunned to find she'd won the contest."

Which sentence/phrase is BEST to cite for author's word choices that suggest positive connotations?

Alika [10]

I just answered a question exactly like this one but I will answer it anyways.

I believe the answer is: C) Hiawatha...was probably based on a real person, a peaceful hero who helped to unite the Iroquois people hundreds of years ago.

This is because a connotation is an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal or primary meaning. Seeing from the above information, Hiawatha seems to be about a positive event.
