B, C, and D all contain gerunds (causing, negotiating, painting). However, the only choice that contains the gerund acting as a subject is C (negotiating)

The correct answer is C. Although, negotiating for Jason Wilkins is a profession, for Emily Dane, it is skill she must learn.

Explanation:

A gerund is a word that ends in -ing and acts a subject rather than as a verb. For example in "Surfing is funny" the word "surfing" is an -ing verb because it describes an activity. Additionally, gerunds can be identified because due they are placed before the main verb and are the entities of the action. Sentence C contains a gerund because, in this, the word "negotiating" acts as the subject of the sentence "negotiating for Jason Wilkins is a profession". "Negotiating" is the subject because it precedes the main verb "is" and it is the agent of this action or state.

I have recently attended a colorful independence day celebration in your area. This is the report on what I saw and experienced.

> I attended an Independence Day celebration of the Mexican community in my area.

> It truly was a huge celebration with fireworks and music.

> Mexican people are so proud of their origins and Independence Day is the most important celebration for them.

> Activities began as early as 09:00 hrs with a massive religious celebration they call "Mass or Service."

> After the service, they stay at the food booths outside the church, where they enjoy a Mexican breakfast.

> From 11:00 to 17:00, these people enjoy the beautiful weather in what they call "La Feria." A theme park with rides and special attractions. It is a family atmosphere full of food and Mariachi music.

> From 18:00 to 22:00, many artists perform on a big stage. Basically, folkloric dances and plays from different regions of México.

> The special and magical moment of Independence Day is the worldwide famous "Grito de Independencia."

> It is the moment when the Mexican Consul plays the role of Priest Miguel Hidalgo, who initiated the Mexican Independence in the town of Dolores, Hidalgo, México in 1810.

> At 23:00 hrs sharp, he is at the main balcony ringing the independence bell and screaming "Viva México" three times, meanwhile thousands of Mexican people frenetically repeats in screams "Viva."

> Then it comes 10 minutes of fireworks.

We can conclude that this Mexican Independence Day is one of the most amazing experiences I ever had for the fervor, enthusiasm, and combination of rituals, music, and Patriotism of the Mexican people.
