The correct answer is:
1. Colleges and Universities (4 year)
2. Community Colleges (2 year)
3. Carrier schools
4. International schools
First, you find the simple subject and simple predicate.
If the '-ing' form of the verb is not part of the simple predicate, then determine how it is used in the sentence. If it's in a noun position, then it's a gerund. If it is used as an adjective, then it will be a participle.
