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 phrase and not word)

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."
