'Writing' is a gerund. Thus, it will be marked as 'G.' 'Several popular books' is an appositive. Thus it will be marked as 'A.'
Gerunds refer to words that are derived from continuous verb forms but act as a noun in a sentence. No helping verb preceded the gerunds. 'Writing' is a continuous form without a helping verb. Thus, it is a gerund.
An appositive is a word or phrase which adds to the role or name of the corresponding noun. In this sentence, 'several popular books' is an indication of the role of the author. Thus, it is an appositive.
Prepositionals refer to the phrases that act as prepositions in a sentence. Infinitives refer to the simplest form of the verbs, which are always preceded by 'to.' Participles refer to the verbs which indicate an ongoing action or any action in the past.

<em>Writing several popular books</em>, the author became a celebrity.
The symbolism used in the love song of J. Alfred Prufrock is meant to connect the everyday existence of a student living in an urban setting to the expectations which society upholds without reflection. As such, the lack of meaning that the main character of the poem fails to find in his studies is directly correlated to the absurd expectations which the greater part of his education forces down on him. These verses says this most clearly: ¨No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be; Am an attendant lord, one that will do, To swell a progress, start a scene or two¨

The everlasting question, cats or dogs. Some favor one over the other; like them both or don’t like either of them. I personally prefer cats for many reasons. They have a lot of personalities, they are more independent and their owner’s health benefits from them.
In my opinion, cats have more personality than dogs because they don’t follow your every command. If they want to knock a cup over they’ll do it regardless of you telling them not to. If they don’t want to do something you can’t force them to do it.
Secondly, cats are more independent than dogs because you don’t have to take them for walks to keep them healthy. Cats can also use the bathroom by themselves rather than having to be let out as dogs do.
Lastly, humans health benefit from having a cat. They reduce stress, help the immune system, lower risk of heart disease and many more.
For these reasons, cats are the superior animal of the two.
Good luck!!
