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.

Explanation:
The following words are underlined in the given sentences:

-
I wash my dogs <u>outside near</u> the garage once every two weeks.

The term <em>clause</em><em> </em>refers to a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. The subject is what the sentence is about, while the predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes the subject.
In order to find the correct answer, we need to look for a subject and a predicate within the underlined groups of words.
In the first example, the predicate is missing.
In the second, it's the subject that is missing.
In the third example, neither the subject nor the predicate is underlined.
In the fourth example, they are both present. <em>I</em> is the subject, and <em>sat</em> is the predicate. That's why the fourth sentence is the correct answer.

- hyperbole to exaggerate the judge's orders
- synecdoche to represent the nation's entire legal system
- <u>sarcasm to emphasize the absurdity of Zanzinger's sentence </u>
- understatement to suggest that the situation was not as bad as it seemed
