1 "I hear it's someone's birthday today," remarked Ms. Perkins, the secretary, as Benjamin exited his mother's office. This was

a disadvantage of having your mom as your school principal—the faculty knew everything about you.
2 "I'm eighteen today," Benjamin replied with an embarrassed grin.

3 "Well, you don't look any different than you did yesterday," Ms. Perkins joked as she signed his hall pass.

4 Later, Benjamin caught his reflection in the cafeteria window and thought about what Ms. Perkins had said. Today, he was officially an adult, but he didn't look any different. He still had the same dark, disheveled hair and the same inquisitive eyes that were so large they sometimes seemed disproportionate with the rest of his face. He was the same height, and he still had the same prominent chin.

5 He also didn't feel particularly different. Benjamin could vividly recall the exhilaration he'd experienced on the morning of his tenth birthday. He'd bounded out of bed and basked in the knowledge that he was now one of the big kids. Benjamin felt as if he could do anything in that moment, but he didn't feel that immeasurable sense of joy today—and he couldn't help but wonder why.
How does the exchange between Ms. Perkins and Benjamin develop the narrative?
A) It shows how Benjamin has a sense of humor.
B) It forces Benjamin to question how he feels.
C) It shows Benjamin a different side of himself.
Eliminate
D) It prompts Benjamin's analysis of his appearance.

Mamont248 [21]
Well, you didnt give much information to answer off of, but he was probably right to remain calm, because the more calm you are in a situation like that, the better capable you are to think of the correct way to go about working to fix your problem. <span />

What is a Gerund phrase
jenyasd209 [6]

                                                       Answer

According to <em>Grammarly,</em>

A gerund phrase is a phrase consisting of a gerund and any modifiers or objects associated with it. A gerund is a noun made from a verb root plus <em>ing </em>(a present participle). A whole gerund phrase functions in a sentence just like a noun, and can act as a subject, an object, or a predicate nominative.

<em>Hope this helps! <3</em>
