The cookies were burning on the stove, much to my horror.
Answer: Option B.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In English Grammar, verbs are known as the action words. The words which show that some kind of action is being done or was being done are known as verbs in the English Grammar.
In the above sentence, since the word burning shows that the cookies were burning means that it is a verb since some kind of action was being performed. And it ends with ing, this means that it is the present participle of the verb burn.
The answer should be an object of a verb. The bold words are neither a proposition(which is a word that expresses a relation to another word, like "after" or "next to") or the subject. The subject in this case would be the city of Washington.
The answer is; His love is as charming as any of those who are praised by false comparisons.
