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.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Ambrose Bierce's “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” refers to the reality of Farquhar’s sit
Rus_ich [418]

Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce was born on June 24 in 1842. He was an American short story writer, journalist, poet, and Civil War veteran.

One of Bierce's book, The Devil's Dictionary was named as one of "The 100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature" by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration. His story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" has been called as "one of the most famous and frequently reproduced stories in American literature"

"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" written in 1890 and originally published by The San Francisco Examiner on July 13, 1890, and was first poised in Bierce's book Tales of Soldiers and Civilians in 1891. The story is set during the American Civil War, and it is known for its irregular time sequence and twisted ending.

The sentence from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge"  that refers to the reality of Farquhar’s situation in the dream sequence he envisions is:

"His neck ached horribly; his brain was on fire, his heart, which had been fluttering faintly, gave a great leap, trying to force itself out at his mouth."
