B. she misses them so much that she takes action
Answer:
One morning, I woke up and thought to do something instead of sitting around. I had gotten a message from my best friend saying that a new haunted house was open. I told him that I'd go. Once we got there, no one was there. It started raining. We went inside and heard footsteps. I didn't know what it was because again, there was no one there. After a little bit of investigating, I found out that there was a box under a wooden plank near the footsteps. I opened the box, only to see a picture. In a split second, my friend was on the ground, grappling a mysterious creature. I said that we had to leave immediately, and not try to fight. He refused. He managed to throw the creature in a locker as we ran as fast as we could away from that house. When we arrived at my place, we observed the picture more closely. I will never forget this image.
The gerund phrases are:
- "Being the accounts manager" (Subject)
- "blowing bubbles to his little sister" (Subjet Complement)
Gerund phrases begin with a gerund or -ing word, and include other modifiers and objects. They function as nouns, and can be the subject, subject complement or direct object of the sentence.
The rest of the alternatives are not gerund phrases because options one and three possess an infinitive verb ("to bring" and "to win"), and "Hiking for two hours" is a present participle clause.
Communication absolutely changes us. It is human nature to be in contact with other beings. Without it, one may have a mental breakdown. Communication is an opportunity to express yourself and if you have something on your mind, you should communicate it in a civilized healthy manner. Without communication, one stores up their emotions and feelings inside of them and if not taken care of, you may burst like a balloon when you least expect it, expressing your feelings and thoughts in an unhealthy way. Communication also opens the way for relationships with people. You show a great deal of trust towards a person by opening up and communicating with them. They are not left in confusion as to how you are feeling and they know that they have earned your trust.
