OpenStudy (hannaha):

I'm thinking D

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

hmm A gerund phrase includes the gerund, plus any modifiers and complements. Gerunds and gerund phrases always function as nouns. They can act as subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, predicate nominatives, or objects of a preposition in a sentence. im not sure

OpenStudy (hannaha):

either that or A. but it seems like A would be complete with the other words

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a gerund looks like noun+verb that end with "ing".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that word ending with ing is generating.

OpenStudy (hannaha):

the gerund is "generating" yes but we're trying figure out what the phrase is :)
