OpenStudy (31356):

1) A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. I think is A \

OpenStudy (31356):

Wait it's B

OpenStudy (31356):

It can't be A since it's not in the end nor the beginning. So, B is the answer.

OpenStudy (31356):

Medal? If helped.........

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B.

OpenStudy (31356):

Adverb phrases ask where, when, how, how often, and to what extent.

OpenStudy (31356):

Where is the original sentence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (31356):

C

OpenStudy (31356):

A gerund phrase will begin with a gerund, an ing word, and will include other modifiers and/or objects. Gerund phrases always function as nouns, so they will be subjects, subject complements, or objects in the sentence.

OpenStudy (31356):
