Answer:

The correct answer is option B. Gerund.

Explanation:

The gerund is a form of the verb that can act as a noun. The gerund is formed with the ending -ing.

In this case the gerund is located after a preposition, and one of the rules of grammar tells us that after a preposition we can only use the gerund, never an infinitive verb.

Other ways of use are:

  • When one verb follows another verb.
  • As a subject or complement of a sentence.
  • After phrasal verbs.

Both "I Look Into My Glass" and "When You Are Old" include a point of view of
Slav-nsk [51]

Both poems from different authors include a point of view of aging.

I look into my Glass by Thomas Hardy talks about himself and how he notices the big change he had as he was growing old, he talks about his feeling and how they're still the ones he had once as a young man.

When you are old by William Buttler Yeats talks about his beloved one and the kind of love people may have towards her, this poem was written way before she was old but it is possible that it was a thought about the years to come.
