Answer:

The laughing boy in the boat likes sailing

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the complete information, here is the complete question:

Replace the infinitive in the sentence with the gerund form of the same verb.

The laughing boy in the boat likes to sail.

Verb in the grammatical structures can be used as infinitives (to + verb) or as gerunds ( verb + -ing) the infinitive that this sentence is using is "to sail" so that changing the form from infinitive to gerund would give us the form "sailing", in this case, the meaning is not affected by the change in the structure and remains the same.

The infinitive that is used in the given sentence above is "to sail". So to make this into a gerund form, it will become "sailing". Therefore, the new sentence will be like this: The laughing boy in the boat likes SAILING. Hope this answers your question.

Answer:

'The Taming of the shrew' talks about complexity of issues in love, marriage and society.

Explanation:

"The Taming of the Shrew" by "William Shakespeare" talks about love, whether it is romantic, platonic or filial. He talks about romantic relationship between a man and a woman when they take interest in each other and decide to get married. Both of them show their romantic side to their partner during the courtship and their love is both romantic and platonic during this time.

The theme 'filial' is depicted in the story when Shakespeare shows how parents play a significant role in life of their children who are about to get married. Lucentio and Bianca loved each other but he got permission to marry her only after convincing her father Baptista that he was very rich.

My name is Ann [436]

In chapters 34 and 35, Tom makes a lot of complicated plans to free Jim in order to make it more fun instead of just lifting the bed and removing  the chain which would be easier, such as for example to saw the leg of the bed where Jim's chained; or to saw Jim´s leg even though he later decides that there´s no time for this; or he even thinks of getting a pen in order to mark on Jim´s shirt the number of days he was chained. All these ideas come from literature and more specifically from adventure books that Tom has read. This is confirmed by Tom's question to Huck " <em>Why, hain't you ever read any book at all? Baron Trenck, nor Casanova, nor Benvenuto Chelleeny, nor Henri IV, nor none of them heroes?</em>". Tom also keeps repeating the phrase "<em>That's what they all do</em>" which demonstrates once again that he bases his escape plans on famous escapes he has read about in books. Later, Tom himself reassures Huck that he knows all about escapes because he has read about them in books (<em>"...I've read all the books that give any information about these things"</em>).
