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 story event in "Perseus" best shows that the ancient Greeks valued intelligence?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

The event that shows that the ancient Greeks valued intelligence in  Perseus is when Athena gives Perseus a mirror so he does not look directly at Medusa.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Perseus as a custom would give a gift for the bride to be. Here Perseus promised that he would go and kill Medusa and bring her head as the gift. It was a task unaccomplished because Medusa was one of the Gorgons.

Athena and Hermes informed which one was Medusa as she alone could be killed not the other two as they were immortal. Medusa and her two sisters were monsters with live snake heads. Athena gave Perseus a mirror as if Perseus had seen her face directly he would have turned to a stone.
