This question is incomplete, since it is missing the sentence we are supposed to analyze. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
"To the best of our knowledge, he decided that his major would be acting." Which does the sentence contain?
a) a conjunction
b) a gerund
c) an infinitive
d) a participle
Answer:
The sentence contains letter b) a gerund.
Explanation:
<u>Gerunds are formed by adding -ing to verbs, but they function like nouns in a sentence</u>.
In "To the best of our knowledge, he decided that his major would be acting," we have the verb "be" functioning as a linking verb, connecting the subject "major" to a word or words that provide information about that it. That word providing information on the subject is the gerund "acting", which therefore functions as a subject complement in this sentence.
Answer:
The error is the use of the word lie.
Explanation:
To correct this sentence, replace the word lie, with lies. The use of the words lie is used to refer to more than one thing, for example, "On the table, lie many sheets of colorful paper". The word lies refers to one thing. for example, "On the table lies a sheet of colorful paper."
