The correct answer is D. Rock climbers enjoy ascending the monolith El Capitan

Explanation:

A gerund phrase is composed by a gerund (word ending in -ing) followed by a modifier, which are words that modify (adjectives or adverbs) or followed by objects. These type of phrases can be subjects or objects in a sentence, in the case of gerund phrases as objects it means it is the entity or object affected by the verb. In the sentence <em>Rock climbers enjoy ascending the monolith El Capitan, </em>the subject or person that carries our the action is <em>Rock climbers; </em>the verb or action is <em>enjoy</em> and the object or  what is affected by the verb, it means what rock climbers enjoy is <em>ascending the monolith El Capitan </em>which is compound by a gerund  (<em>ascending)</em> plus an object (<em>the monolith El Capitan) </em>which makes it a gerund phrase. Thus, the sentence that includes a gerund phrase is D. Rock climbers enjoy ascending the monolith El Capitan.

Question 7 (2 points)<br> A mocktail is a flavoured cocktail.<br> O True<br> O False
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A cocktail is a alcoholic beverage bearing at least one alcoholic ingredient.

A mocktail is completely alcohol-free yet should nonetheless taste and be as pleasurable as a standard drink that contains alcohol. Although it is termed a "mock"-tail, nothing is being "mocked" by the moniker. This is merely a popular and catchy name for a non-alcoholic beverage. Mocktails provide several excellent choices for folks who don't want to become intoxicated at work gatherings, are designated drivers, are allergic to alcohol, are on specific medicines, are on low-calorie diets, etc. to have fun without really ingesting alcohol.
