This question is incomplete, since it is missing the sentence we are supposed to analyze. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
"To the best of our knowledge, he decided that his major would be acting." Which does the sentence contain?
a) a conjunction
b) a gerund
c) an infinitive
d) a participle
Answer:
The sentence contains letter b) a gerund.
Explanation:
<u>Gerunds are formed by adding -ing to verbs, but they function like nouns in a sentence</u>.
In "To the best of our knowledge, he decided that his major would be acting," we have the verb "be" functioning as a linking verb, connecting the subject "major" to a word or words that provide information about that it. That word providing information on the subject is the gerund "acting", which therefore functions as a subject complement in this sentence.

Answer:
This question is incomplete, but I will still give you an explanation of the themes Young Goodman Brown is about.
Explanation:
The story<em> Young Goodman Brown</em> by Nathaniel Hawthorne has as their main themes faith, religion, sins and good versus evil.
Brown's faith is easily corrupted by the Devil in the woods. In turn, he feels guilty when he knows what he is going to do and says goodbye to his beloved wife, whom he considers a very good and religious woman.
There is also a criticism of the Puritan religion and you can see how all the Puritans in the story "hid something" since they were all present that night in the forest. All of them had been tempted by evil.
This is where good versus evil comes into play, as not even the purest people in the city could be considered good.
