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.

Answer:

b) She prefers being a private person, not a public one.

Explanation:

Emily Dickens wrote very introspective poems, the ones that talk about her relationship with God, her celebration observance of nature, her thoughts of life’s processes, and her own ideas about herself. <u>She wrote of her own emotions and perceptions</u>. Through her poetry, we can see that she was a <u>very pensive person</u>, the observant one, and very attentive with details around her.<u> Her poetry is mindful and quiet, and</u><u> never gives out the sense of intensity by the rowdy and loud person. </u>

Through this, we can deduct that<u> </u><u>Emily Dickens’ personality was a rather private one, that she minded her own affairs, and that she did not enjoy being in the public eye for too long</u>.<u> She preferred to live by the word of God and observe nature and other people, </u>much rather than participate in the loud and public social life.

What features does Gloria Martinez have in common with Lupe Algarin, What differences do they have, and what advice would Gloria
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Lupe is one of the sweetest kids in Mr. Ward's class, and she always has a kind word for everyone. She's also a bit of a dreamer—girl has a rich fantasy life. For instance, even though her father left her family when she was a little girl, she still imagines him as an amazing and heroic person. And no, her mom doesn't quite agree. Perhaps her most misguided fantasy, though, is about having a baby:
