1: identify the gerund in "spelling is not the humbugs favorite activity".

English
1 answer:
Juli2301 [7.4K]3 years ago
3 0

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."

One of Orwell’s purposes in telling his story is to show how it gave him a glimpse of “the real nature of imperialism” (3). What
allochka39001 [22]

In "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell, "the real nature of imperialism" is shown when Orwell says that as a British officer in Burma, he himself is against colonialism because in a job like that you see the dirty work of the British Empire. And when he faces the elephant he sees clearly that even though he doesn't want to kill the elephant, he has to because the Burmese expect him to, so he is not free. By limiting the power of the others the British Empire has limited its own freedom making a place of hollow power.
