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.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

The Supreme Court decision approved the Fifteenth Amendment, stating that any citizen could vote regardless of color, race, or history of servitude.

Explanation:

The texts show that the American Supreme Court decided to approve suffrage for blacks, that is, the Supreme Court decided that it was illegal to prohibit blacks, who were now free citizens, from voting. This gave rise to the fifteenth amendment that declared that every American citizen could vote, regardless of their color, race, or history of servitude.

This moment is reinforced in the second text, where the supreme court prohibits Texas from preventing blacks from voting, saying that this attitude is unconstitutional.
