Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The sentence: (c.) The children enjoy climbing on the playground equipment, is a sentence that uses the word climbing as a gerund. That is because climbing is directly appointed or connected to the playground equipment. A gerund is a word that is in the form of verb but acting as a noun.
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer: C) The children enjoyed climbing on the playground equipment.

Explanation: A gerund is a word that has the form of a verb, but it acts like a noun (it can be a subject or an object in a sentence). The structure of a gerund is the root of the verb, plus the ending "ing." From the given sentences, the one that is an example of a gerund is "The children enjoyed climbing on the playground equipment" because in this case "climbing" acts like a noun (and the direct object of the sentence).

Read the poem below and answer the question that follows.“Horses on the Grass”
by Grace Schulman
From the tower window
the moon
draws a silver maple’s shadow
across a spangled lawn;
horses
rear, manes lashing the air,
front legs floating.
Half monarch,
half shadow, the tree
aspires to the sky;
one branch, cracked by lightning,
scrapes the earth.
Reflected
on the grass, bent twigs
are curved hooves, galloping
as the moon rises.
Divided it stands
in wholeness, mourning
its victories, praising
the god of trees, the king of horses.
The tree holds souls
in a bark prison
poised like a runner at the starting line—
and bolts free, wildly
pawing the ground those roots lie under.

Which statement about the poem is true?
The poem follows a rhyme scheme.
The poem is a sonnet.
The poem follows a fixed pattern of meter.
The poem uses free-verse structure.

Answers

Hello, the correct answer is the final option - the poem uses free-verse structure. This poem doesn't follow a rhyme scheme, as there are various different rhymes, and it is not consistent. It is not a sonnet - a sonnet has 14 lines, and this poem has more. It also doesn't follow a fixed pattern of meter, because there are lines with two syllables, and there are those that have over 5, so again, it is not consistent. Thus we can conclude that the answer is "free-verse structure", as that means that it doesn't follow any of these rules.

The poem uses free-verse structure.
