Answer: The word 'climbing' is a gerund in "The children enjoyed climbing on the playground equipment".

Explanation: A gerund is a non-finite verb form which functions as a noun. Moreover, a gerund can play different syntactic functions in a sentence: it can act as subject, as direct object or as object of the preposition<u>. In the sentence "The children enjoyed climbing on the playground equipment", "climbing" is a gerund since it is functioning as a noun and acting as the direct object.</u> In contrast, in the other two sentences, "climbing" is a present participle.

Answer:

Explanation:

I believe that Thomas Jefferson’s vision of America won. According to the text, it says “Jefferson advocated the power of state governments so much that when Jefferson walked about “country”, he was referring to Virginia, Gutzman says.” This shows that Thomas Jefferson’s vision of America won. Thomas Jefferson thought that to have a republican society it had to be highly decentralized. On February 17, 1801, Thomas Jefferson was elected president of the United States, but there was no more to it than beating his opponent. He viewed European societies, especially Great Britain, as corrupt, controlled by moneyed interests and afflicted with the problems that he saw as endemic in urban settings. Thomas Jefferson’s vision for the United States was that it would become an agrarian nation, composed of white yeoman farmers who owned their own lands. Thomas Jefferson won the support of Congress and became the third president of the United States.

I chose the article because it made me feel curious and wanted to learn more about how Thomas Jefferson did all of these things. This article was interesting to me because Thomas Jefferson did a lot of things like having a speech and being the third president of the United States. I feel like I’ve learned a lot of things in life that people accomplished and worked hard to do it. It didn’t change my opinion but it still made me curious about how Thomas Jefferson did all of this. I would change the situation by not giving up.

I made a connection that Thomas Jeffer is one of the people that lives in America like me and many people live here so it can be a national level for us and there is a connection that I live in America because of that. The information I learned about affects people on a local level that some history people got into a war and elections who is going to be the president.

if the verb in the independent clause is in the present tense in which tense should the verb in the indirect quotation be
Alchen [17]
If the verb in the independent clause is in the present tense, the tense that the verb in the indirect quotation should be is <span>remain in its original tense. 
</span>You don't have to shift tenses because it is present in the independent one.
For example:
He says: "I need to wash my hair."
He says that he needs to wash his hair.
You wouldn't say - he says that he needed to wash his hair.
