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>

Using proper and common nouns<br>​
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Proper nouns are always capitalized in English, no matter where they fall in a sentence. Because they endow nouns with a specific name, they are also sometimes called proper names. Every noun can be classified as either common or proper. A common noun is the generic name for one item in a class or group.

Why do we have implicit bias?<br> (Sociology subject )
erik [133]

Answer:

Thoughts and feelings are “implicit” if we are unaware of them or mistaken about their nature. We have a bias when, rather than being neutral, we have a preference for (or aversion to) a person or group of people. Thus, we use the term “implicit bias” to describe when we have attitudes towards people or associate stereotypes with them without our conscious knowledge. A fairly commonplace example of this is seen in studies that show that white people will frequently associate criminality with black people without even realizing they’re doing it.

Explanation:

Why it matters

The mind sciences have found that most of our actions occur without our conscious thoughts, allowing us to function in our extraordinarily complex world. This means, however, that our implicit biases often predict how we’ll behave more accurately than our conscious values. Multiple studies have also found that those with higher implicit bias levels against black people are more likely to categorize non-weapons as weapons (such as a phone for a gun, or a comb for a knife), and in computer simulations are more likely to shoot an unarmed person. Similarly, white physicians who implicitly associated black patients with being “less cooperative” were less likely to refer black patients with acute coronary symptoms for thrombolysis for specific medical care.

For a long time Latin America literature has shown a vigour as in few other literary spheres
irina [24]

<u>The statement is completely true. </u>Even though many records of the pre-colonial period haven been lost, Latin America literature has given great works in a short period of time.

We can see their vigour in the literature about their culture, tradition and history. It is necessary to mention Ricardo Palma with his <em>tradiciones peruanas</em>, Domingo Sarmiento <em>Facundo </em>(shows the dichotomy between civilization and barbarism). This wave of Romanticism brings another great work and that is <em>Martín Fierro </em>(José Hernández), representing the authentic Argentine tradition and culture.

Latin America literature has shown its vigour in many revolutionary minds. We first think of José Martí (Cuba) and his revolutionary ideas and poetry. Another great fruit of Latin America literature was the creation of the literary movement called <em>Modernismo</em>. It began with Rubén Darío and his book <em>Azul</em>. This is the first literary movement originating from this continent.

After that, Latin American authors have been producing original works and movements. Latin American Boom is well-known all over the world (it includes writers such as Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, etc.). A very close movement that arises in the same literary surrounding is magic realism. This great invention has brought a literature revolution that influenced authors worldwide.

Answer:

Perspective

Explanation:

Point of View can be considered as a certain way a story is played, whether it'll be said by the character itself, the narrator, or the person next to the character.

This fits the meaning of perspective, because it can be the way the person in the books views things, all the other answers except plot fit into perspective.

Plot is more of the story overall
