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.

Which words in the sentence make up the adjective phrase? Which word does the adjective phrase modify?
pychu [463]
An adjective is a descriptive word, it describes a noun, which is a 'name' word (i.e: the name of an item, the name of a place; e.g: shoes are the name of the things you wear on your feet, 'shoe's' are the noun)

the 'descriptive' word, the adjective, is something which tells you more about the noun.

therefore, the answer should be: a) with the pink spots; modifies butterfly

because 'with the pink spots' describes the noun, the 'butterfly'.
