Answer:

Answer:

We’re waiting for the awful grandmother who is inside dropping pesos into la ofrenda box before the altar to La Divina Providencia. Lighting votive candles and genuflecting. Blessing herself and kissing her thumb. Running a crystal rosary between her fingers. Mumbling, mumbling, mumbling.  

 

There are so many prayers and promises and thanks-be-to-God to be given in the name of the husband and the sons and the only daughter who never attend mass. It doesn’t matter. Like La Virgen de Guadalupe, the awful grandmother intercedes on their behalf. For the grandfather who hasn’t believed in anything since the first PRI elections. For my father, El Periquín, so skinny he needs his sleep. For Auntie Light-skin, who only a few hours before was breakfasting on brain and goat tacos after dancing all night in the pink zone. For Uncle Fat-face, the blackest of the black sheep—Always remember your Uncle Fat-face in your prayers. And Uncle Baby— You go for me, Mamá—God listens to you.

Select the sentence that uses a gerund phrase as a predicate noun. Christa chose to write a literary critique of the novel Oliver Twist. The main character of this book does not change at all. The student receiving the achievement award should represent his class. Earning money has been a difficult task this summer. Choose your words with great care. My job is leading people to their seats in the auditorium.

Answers

A gerund looks like a verb which ends in -ing, but it functions as a noun in a sentence. A predicate noun follows a linking verb, such as to be, to seem, etc. So, among all these examples, the only gerund phrase which is used as a predicate noun is found in the last sentence, and the gerund is leading, whereas the whole phrase is leading people to their seats.
