Answer:

As if merely <em><u>subsisting</u></em> according to his self-imposed rules weren’t strenuous enough…

Explanation:

The word "subsist" is a gerund that means sustenance, dependent, survival on one's own. In other words, it means the ability or capacity to support and survive by oneself on a minimal level.

The given line<em> "as if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren't strenuous enough..."</em> is from Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild." The lines go like this-

<em>As if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren't strenuous enough, Rosellini also exercised compulsively whenever he wasn't occupied with foraging. He filled his days with calisthenics, weight lifting, and running, often with a load of rocks on his back. During one apparently typical summer, he reported covering an average of eighteen miles daily.</em>

Thus, the correct word for the blank in the line is "subsisting".

What is the part of speech of the underlined word?
9966 [12]

Answer:

I don't think you listed an underlined word but uh, I think I could take a guess at what you mean. "May I" referring to 'pre' leads up to preposition as it is.

Explanation:

It's 11 pm for me and my brain isn't at it's best, sorry if I'm incorrect- I hope I helped though. :3
