The answer is A) He ate other hunters and took their ammunition.
The second choice is not an option because it doesn't happen in the story, and what lion would go to a store?
The third choice is not an option because it doesn't happen.
The first choice is correct because Lafcadio finds other humans and eats them up in the Jungle, then takes the ammunition.
Yes it is very much possible but would be hard as it is tough to switch from one language to another but doing so will strengthen our brain and ability to multitask.
Gerunds in a sentence functions as a noun. Hence in a sentence, a gerund will act as direct objects, subjects, subject complements, an object of prepositions or indirect objects. Every gerund ends in -ing, and so does present participles. On the other hand, present participles act as modifiers or complete progressive verbs.
On the other hand, infinitive verbs are formed by adding 'to' to the base form of the verb. for example, to eat, to sleep etc.
Therefore, on revising the sentence by replacing the infinitive 'to sail' with the gerund form of the verb will be written as,
The laughing boy in the boat likes sailing.
