English

Answer:

Participle

Explanation:

Participles are verb forms that can be used as adjectives, to create verb tense, or to create the passive voice. There are two types of participles:

  • present participle - they end with -<em>ing;</em>
  • past participle - they end in <em>-ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n.</em>

These endings make it easier for us to recognize these words. In the given sentence, we have the participle <em>fighting</em>. It's a part of the verb phrase<em> is fighting. </em>

A gerund is a noun derived from the verb by adding <em>-ing</em> to its root. Since we can see that <em>fighting </em>isn't a noun here, we know that gerund is the wrong option.

natka813 [3]
Although there are no conjunctions in this sentence, I guess that the adverb where can be used as a "subordinating conjunction" in the sentence, because it connects the subordinate and the independent clauses.
