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.

Juliette [100K]
Sentence 3 supports the main idea of the passage the least because it doesn’t even mention anything about the women in their family, it definitely talks about women and their active ness in politics, but it doesn’t have anything to do with the women in their family whereas all the other sentences do.

Hope this helps!

how do both Dickinson and Whitman show they are unfraid of death in their poems 712 and song of myself
vesna_86 [32]

Answer: Both authors describe death as a spiritual rebirth, a new beginning.

Explanation:

In his poem <em>"Song of Myself"</em>, Whitman argues that <em>“…to die is different from what any one supposed, and / luckier.”  </em>He describes death as a return to life, a new beginning. In the poem, he explores the theme of mortality, reminding the audience that everyone must die eventually.

Emily Dickinson takes a similar viewpoint in<em> 712 "Because I Could Not Stop for Death"</em>. Death is personified in this poem, and takes a role of a gentle guide that accompanies the speaker on her journey from life to death. Death is not intimidating as people often think, and gives an impression that he cares about the speaker's feelings.
