Answer:
<em>Gerund or gerund phrase: </em><em>thinking</em>
<em>Noun function: </em><em>subject</em>
Explanation:
Gerund is a type of verbal which means it is a verb with a different function. In case of a gerund, it functions as a noun.
Basically recognizing gerund in a sentence is easy, it always ends in -ing.
Though it should not be confused with present participle which also ends in -ing. Present participle acts as an adjective and it is a part of verb forms (e.g. present simple continuous).
In this sentence <em>thinking</em> answers to the question<em> what</em> (what is hard work), so that`s why it is a subject.
1 "you said earlier that you like and support the use of fossil fuels, you baby killer"
2 "what? that makes no sense"
1 "yeah it does, baby killer"
2 "me supporting the usage of fossil fuels, does not support the idea that i am a baby killer"
1 "yeah well, it doesn't go against it either,"
2 "okay, but you used an irrelevant piece of reasoning to try and support the statement that 'I am a baby killer' "
When considering two part f devices in this poem, this would then be the following:
How much this person would appreciate thee.
And why she would appreciate thee.
I wanted to discuss the first one.
"How much this person would appreciate thee.".
She would appreciate this thee very much as when see said in the poem,
"<span>I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death."
This would show and support to why she would have respect and appreciation for thee.
Now when considering the second device, we can see why she would love this thee.
We can see based on the following:
</span>"<span>How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's 5".
This would then show why she would love the thee.
And based on all of this, the relation to this would be the fact that this person would love thee, and why she would, and how she would love it until the day of her/his death.</span>
