A gerund is an entity made from a verb by integrating "-ing."
Gerunds function as entities. Thus, gerunds will be subjects, subject complements, direct objects, indirect objects, and objects of prepositions.

First, you find the simple subject and simple predicate. 
If the '-ing' form of the verb is not part of the simple predicate, then determine how it is used in the sentence. If it's in a noun position, then it's a gerund. If it is used as an adjective, then it will be a participle.

What is the central idea of this passage?
Valentin [98]

Napoleon himself occupied the seat of honor at the head of the table, and the writer says that "The pigs appeared entirely at ease on their chairs" in the excerpt. This shows that the pigs interacted with people as quoted in option (D).

<h3>What is the prime idea of pigs from the passage "animal farm"?</h3>

The passage's main idea is that the:

A literary text's fundamental concept serves as its major argument. Every other element in a story is connected by the story's unifying factor.

Pigs socialized with people, which caused them to have human instincts and behavior.

At the same table as the pigs, Napoleon is seen seated. Napoleon, a person, and the pigs engaging in the same activity demonstrate that the pigs and humans were engaging in the same activity.

Therefore, the main contention is that, despite professing to speak for farm animals, pigs are actually acting like the humans who previously enslaved them.
