Answer:

The sentence that contains a gerund phrase is:

A. Practicing the piano daily has helped Maria master Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata."

Explanation:

A gerund is a noun created by adding -ing to a verb root. A gerund phrase, in its turn, has a gerund and any modifiers or objects related to it. A gerund phrase functions as a noun, which means it can be the subject, the object, or the predicate nominative of a sentence.

<u>In the sentence "Practicing the piano daily has helped Maria master Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata'," the gerund phrase is "practicing the piano," in which the gerund is "practicing". We know this phrase functions as a noun but, to determine its function in the sentence, all we have to do is ask the verb a simple question: </u><u>What</u><u> has helped Maria? </u><u>Practicing the piano daily</u><u> has helped Maria. Therefore, we have a gerund phrase that is the subject of this sentence.</u>

Westkost [7]
In the 1920s, people invested in the stock market more than they ever did before. Prices rose very fast so that by the end of the 1920s, traders could become rich from buying and selling overnight. They bought stock on margin which meant that they could hold the stock for as little as a 10% downpayment. They then waited for the stock price to rise and then they sold it. During 1928 and 1929, the stock of many companies was valued more than what the companies were valued for.
