'Writing' is a gerund. Thus, it will be marked as 'G.' 'Several popular books' is an appositive. Thus it will be marked as 'A.'
Gerunds refer to words that are derived from continuous verb forms but act as a noun in a sentence. No helping verb preceded the gerunds. 'Writing' is a continuous form without a helping verb. Thus, it is a gerund.
An appositive is a word or phrase which adds to the role or name of the corresponding noun. In this sentence, 'several popular books' is an indication of the role of the author. Thus, it is an appositive.
Prepositionals refer to the phrases that act as prepositions in a sentence. Infinitives refer to the simplest form of the verbs, which are always preceded by 'to.' Participles refer to the verbs which indicate an ongoing action or any action in the past.
