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.

Sphinxa [80]

The sentence can be corrected by replacing the phrase “fight-or-flight” with the word 'alarm.'

<h3>What is the alarm stage of GAS?</h3>

GAS, General adaptation syndrome is a bodily process that happens in a situation of positive or negative stress. There are three stages of GAS:

<u>Alarm stage</u>: it is the first reaction stage that occurs after the body is subjected to stress and involves various stages to control and manage the stress.

<u>Resistance stage</u>: it is the second phase in which the body neutralizes the anxiety signals and is governed by the parasympathetic part of ANS.

<u>Exhaustion stage:</u> It is the third and last step in which the energy of the body gets depleted and the person feels tired, depressed, etc.

Therefore, the phrase should be replaced with 'alarm' to make it true.
