Answer:

Cutting our own tree at Christmas time is a special celebration in our home.

Losing my wallet caused me great inconvenience.

I save money by watching for the sales.

Explanation:

A gerund is a word formed from a verb by adding<em> -ing</em> that acts as a noun. It has some properties of a verb, though, as it can be modified by an adverb and take a direct object.

An example of a gerund used in a sentence:

  • <em>Reading </em><em>is good for you. </em>(<em>Reading - read + ing</em>. It acts as a noun and it's the subject of the sentence).

A gerund phrase is a phrase that contains a gerund and other modifiers or objects associated with it (<em>Cutting our own tree at Christmas time, Losing my wallet</em>).

What technique does the author use in each excerpt to<br> support her purpose?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

B). The first excerpt uses facts and statistics, and the second excerpt is told as a story.

Explanation:

The first excerpt from 'Children of the Drug Wars' <u>employs factual and statistical information that helps the author to serve her purpose of educating the readers about the impact of violence(led by wars) on children</u>. It also informs them regarding the increase in percentage of asylum claims as the violence left the children mentally distorted and it is this reason made around 58% to flee. While the second excerpt from 'Enrique's Journey' uses a narrative style to portray the hardships faced by Enrique to reconcile with his mother('jams his body, jumps off, etc.) through which the audience can connect themselves emotionally and elicit intended response. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

B. Exploring the site that used to be the Temple of Zeus was an amazing experience. My stomach filled with butterflies as we neared the gigantic pillars on the site. I stepped forward and touched one of the smooth, cool pillars. In that moment, I thought about the people who came to the shrine thousands of years ago to see the colossal statue that was housed in the temple.
