Option 3: <u>The phrase acts as a noun that is the subject of the sentence.</u>
"Volunteering at the animal shelter in my neighborhood" is a gerund phrase (It begins with a gerund, the "ing" word, and includes others modifiers and objects), and gerund phrases always function as nouns. Therefore, the phrase in the passage acts as a noun, which at the same time is the subject of the sentence since it's what's being discussed.
A seems like the right answer. Normally if a sentence sounds right, it is.
B is wrong because it makes it seem like she finished a book report with her family. The words are all mixed up.
C is wrong because it says she looked forward to having just finished... it doesn't make sense. She was looking forward to a relaxing weekend, not the report.
D is wrong because the words are all mixed up and doesn't make sense.
Hope this helps!
