Which bolded word or phrase is a gerund?

1 answer:

5 0

Okay so gerunds are a form that is derived from a verb but that functions as a noun, in English ending in -ing, example would be like asking in 'do you mind my asking you?'

So the first one would be 'giggling', then the second one would be 'fixing.'

the next two would be a bit harder because there are no words that have a prefix of -ing, but im not to sure about them because i dont think they have a gerund in them...

but the next ones are, 'laughing' and 'squinting'

sorry i couldnt help with all of them.

In “Shakespeare’s Sister,” Virginia Woolf argues that women need two things if they are to realize their potential as writers: f

The correct option is option C ("A room of their own").

In "Shakespeare's Sister", Virginia Woolf creates the imaginary figure of a hypotetical sister for Shakespeare in order to contrast what it would take for a woman to realize herself as a writer as opposed to a male.

The number one thing a woman writer will need would be money. If she's able to rely only on herself to earn her living, she'll get to determine freely what she does with her spare time. Also, with a room of her own she'll also be free to form her own opinions without the imposition or influence of anyone else holding her down.

Hope this helps!
