This question is incomplete, since it is missing the sentence we are supposed to analyze. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

"To the best of our knowledge, he decided that his major would be acting." Which does the sentence contain?

a) a conjunction

b) a gerund

c) an infinitive

d) a participle

Answer:

The sentence contains letter b) a gerund.

Explanation:

<u>Gerunds are formed by adding -ing to verbs, but they function like nouns in a sentence</u>.

In "To the best of our knowledge, he decided that his major would be acting," we have the verb "be" functioning as a linking verb, connecting the subject "major" to a word or words that provide information about that it. That word providing information on the subject is the gerund "acting", which therefore functions as a subject complement in this sentence.

Which sentence from "The World on Turtle's Back" best illustrates why the story is considered a creation myth? The woman created
il63 [147K]

<em>Answer:</em>

The woman placed the dirt on Turtle’s back and performed a ritual to create the earth.

<em>Explanation:</em>

The world on Turtle’s back is a Native American tradition that explains the origins of the Earth. The story surfaces from the legend that the world was created on the back of a giant turtle. The story is considered to be a creation myth because it has the engagement of supernatural powers, that have worked inconsistent with her magic. This is a creation myth because the only thing supporting it is the belief in the story that has been passed down from generation to generation, as a creation story, and this belief gave rise to popular religious beliefs and customs of the Iroquois.

How does a parent’s relationship with his or her daughter while she is a bacha posh compare to after, when she is asked to prese
liq [111]

In Afghanistan, "bacha posh" directly translates to "dressed like a boy" for children who are born female. The families may choose to raise their daughters as bacha posh to ensure safety and a better quality of life.

During their childhood, bacha poshs are allowed movement to run errands, escort sisters, go to school and get an education, and even play sports. The parents give much freedom to bacha poshs. Once she reaches puberty she is expected to switch to a conservative women's lifestyle; to marry and have children. The parents behavior towards their daughter during and after the bacha posh phase is contradictory - the relationship towards their daughter is the complete opposite afterwards.
