The gerund in this sentence is "learning". A gerund is a verb form which is acting as a noun, in this case after the preposition "in".
Answer and Explanation:
<u>What functions as a subject is not really the relative clause, but the relative pronoun - "that".</u> Relative pronouns can act as subjects or objects in the clause they introduce. Let's compare:
1. I am the only person who saw Erica.
2. I am the only person who Erica saw and recognized.
Notice that in sentence 1, "who" is the subject of the clause "saw Erica". However, in sentence 2, "who" is the object. The subject of the verb "saw" now is "Erica".
<u>The same happens in the clause "that was hurt before". The relative pronoun "that" - which is substituting the noun "ankle" - is the subject of the clause "was hurt before". Therefore, we can say its noun function is the subject.</u>
In the Emancipation Proclamation, issued by the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, in the year of our Lord 1863, "suitable condition" refers to option 3. that those persons who were previously enslaved must have displayed the same minimum requirements for service in the armed forces as those who had not been enslaved.
In the Emancipation Proclamation, President Lincoln, states that " ...I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free..." and those who are in good condition to serve the armed forces of the United States will be received there.

This line comes from "The Things They Carried" by Tim O Brien when he served in Vietnam. The term hard vocabulary to contain terrible softness simply reflects what he has done to serve in Vietnam. In times of war, it is not good to be internally soft as it may serve as weakness to enemies. Therefore, hard vocabulary refers to the words that one would say to himself and others in order to project strength and hide softness or weakness inside.
