b)It is to persuade people to join the gym.
The text begins with a description of the different things that the gym has to offer. It then goes on to specifically address the audience by using the word "you" and listing the hours that the gym is open for the audience's convenience. The text then discusses why the new gym is better than other gyms and continues to list the features that it thinks will be appealing to the people. The text ends with an incentive for people to join the gym before the end of the month. While there are details about a gym, the reason behind those details is to persuade people to sign up. The text does not give specific instructions about how to sign up or why exercise is important.
Answer:
The function of the commas in this sentance is to seperate the thoughts, one being "Isn't it fanciful notion that any adult could actually understand teenager's mind?" and "As our parents always said"

Explanation:
Answer:
A gerund is a form of a verb used as a noun, whereas a participle is a form of verb used as an adjective or as a verb in conjunction with an auxiliary verb. An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that modifies a noun. This grammatical construction usually sits next to another noun and modifies it by renaming it or describing it in another way. Appositives are generally offset with commas or dashes.
Examples:
Gerund: Verb: Read; Gerund: Reading; Sentence: Her favorite hobby is reading.
Participle: A participle is an adjective made from a verb. Verb: Sleep; Participle: Sleeping; Phrase: The sleeping dog.
Appositive: Sentence: "The boy raced ahead to the finish line"; Appositive: "The boy, an avid sprinter, raced ahead to the finish line."
For the first two, the difference is really the context of the phrase/sentence. The gerund turns the verb into a noun, turning the <em>action </em>of reading into a <em>thing, </em>or a <em>hobby</em>. A participle phrase takes the <em>action </em>of sleeping and turns it into an adjective, and results in "the sleeping dog."
