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.

Which sentence would best improve the description in the setting of a story?My grandmother used to tell me that dogs and ponies
Zielflug [23.3K]

Hello!

The answer should be the second sentence: Blowing wildly, the icy winter wind tore my woolen cap from my head, as it makes the most sense.

________________________________________________________

The setting is the time and location of a story. (Where and when it takes place).

The first sentence definitely wouldn't improve improve the description in the setting of a story, nor would the last. The third sentence includes the location (basketball game), but does not describe it.
