Answer 9

6.)
First, we find the participle in this sentence. A participle is a word that WAS a verb but is used as an ADJECTIVE in the sentence. The participle in this sentence is designed. Designed describes 'for the performance'. Therefore, the participial phrase is "designed for the performance" And what does tht modify? ... Dress!
D) Dress

7.)
A gerund is a word that WAS a verb but is used as a NOUN in the sentence instead. Gerunds end in -ing. What is the noun in this sentence that ends in -ing? ... Skydiving!
D) Skydiving

8.)
A gerund phrase always BEGINS with the gerund. Remember, gerunds end in -ing, and are a verb turned into a noun. So, the gerund in this sentence is... Evacuating! So, the gerund phrase will begin with evacuating. This eliminates A and B as an answer.
Gerund phrases are the SUBJECTS OF THE VERBS in a sentence. They are always subjects, subject complements, or objects. Before the storm is not apart of the subject, therefore the answer is...
C) Evacuating area

9.)
Find the answer to this one using what you now know from number 8. Tell me what you think it is, and I'll help you if you still need it.

10.
"For judging" is a prepositional phrase. For is a preposition. Judging is the object of the preposition.
B) Object of a preposition
