The correct answer is option three.

The -ing gerund works as a noun and is commonly used as the subject of the sentence. In this example, the gerund is the verb "volunteering," which takes a complement, "at the animal shelter." Therefore, the entire clause "Volunteering at the animal shelter," is considered a noun, which serves as the subject of the whole sentence.

Option 3: The phrase acts as a noun that is the subject of the sentence.

"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.

KengaRu [80]

Answer: Nature implies suspicion of others but does not state it, while Society and Solitude states directly that suspicion of others is natural.

Nature is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, published in 1836. In this essay, Emerson defends a non-traditional appreciation of nature. It establishes the foundation of transcendentalism. Society and Solitude, on the other hand, is a book by the same author. This collection of essays presents the idea that both isolation and company are necessary for the development and progress of people. In his first essay, Emerson suggest that suspicion of others is natural, but he does not state it especifically. He expands on this idea in the second work.

irony (when something opposite of what is expected happens) Thank Heaven! the crisis— The danger is past, And the lingering illness Is over at last— And the fever called "Living" Is conquered at last.

Almost upon the western wave Rested the broad bright Sun; When that strange shape drove suddenly Betwixt us and the Sun. (from “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge) This example talks about a wave (part) when the speaker is really talking about the ocean (whole).

metonymy O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth, Tasting of Flora and the country green, Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth!
