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>

A really good way to find comparisons if you can't think of any is to google the summary of the story and character descriptions from sparknotes, or where ever. That usually helps me when writing c/c essays.

This book contains a wide collection of stories regarding spies and agents that have worked both for and against their country.  The content here spans from the formation of the United States in the Colonial Era to the more modern day spy stories.  Even double agents (and sometimes triple agents) are discussed, in addition to the straight-up stories of spies and what they did.  In one of the chapters, the author explains Benedict Arnold's story.  He agreed to spy for the British because he felt wronged in his career by the Americans, as he thought he wasn't getting paid as much as he deserved.  Arnold spied by pretending to still be on Washington's side and then capturing his "own" fort.  There was also Elizabeth Van Lew, who spied for the Union by acting as a nurse in the prisoner camp. She would then get info from gossiping spies.  Rose Greenhow also spied for the Confederates by sewing messages into the cuffs of dresses she made. The main purpose of writing this novel was to inform readers of how our government obtained information in the past, and how it still does today. Throughout the book, the author explains events throughout history that involved spying. This is because he wants to make the readers think about how spying was such a big part of our success as a nation.

Papessa [141]

One potential theme of the novel may be science is important and should be valued. This statement is universal in nature which is a characteristic of theme. Theme should be understood by readers regardless of nationality, race, age and background. The other choices are false and only the first choice makes sense. All the rest are very limited or biased.
