How is the underlined gerund used in the sentence? Stop talking for a few minutes, please. A. object of a preposition B. predicate nominative C. subject D. direct object

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The gerund in this sentence must be "talking" as gerunds end with -ing, and this is the only dog in the sentence that ends with -ing.

It's an object of a verb (the verb is stop)- it's what the verb directs the action to - so it's the direct object (answer D).

It's not that good by an example can be...

Dear Diary,
I remember when I was 8 years old, my parents took me to the zoo for the first time. I was thrilled and amazed by how many different animals there were. I can still remember how fast my heart was beating, and how many times I got scolded for running off, because I wanted to see another creature such as a giraffe.
The next most exciting thing after entering the zoo was that I was allowed to pat a lion cub. It had golden fur which felt smooth to touch, and pointy whiskers that poked my skin. After that I had small pink bumps on my arms from the times when the cubs whiskers had poked me.
I loved that day so much that when it was finally time to leave I was reluctant to go and threw a small tantrum, which washed away when my parents promised to take me again. So, that visit to the zoo was the most memorable day of my life, because of how I felt.

"Very good." Father took the card and put it carefully away in his pocket. "Did you see that demon's face, Moon Shadow? He was surprised when I fixed his carriage. Machines aren't all bad. Some of them may be the true magic. We might not be able to speak too well with the demons, but in machines there's a language common to us all. You don't have to worry about your accent when you're talking about numbers and diagrams."I was getting excited. "Maybe the Dragon King was right. Maybe the magic takes a different form in our land. Maybe that's why you don't need words for it."

Father wiped his hands on an old rag in the back of the wagon. Then he held up his hands. He had not been able to get off all the oil, for the lines of his hands were still black.

"Well, you know, repairing the horseless carriage was a lot like healing the Dragon King. My hands just seemed to know what to do."

In this passage, what revelation do the narrator and his father have about the setting?

that the Americans may not be demons after all
that magic is more important than modern machinery
that a common language is not always necessary for communication
that it will be difficult to find a common ground with the Americans

Answers

Answer:

Revelation that the narrator and his father have about the setting is Option C: that a common language is not always necessary for communication

Explanation:

'Dragonwings' by 'Laurence Yep', is a story about Moon Shadow who is trying to adjust with his new life in America. He gets to know abut the racism they face and fears about it. Even he experienced  hostility from whites. They are referred as white demons of San Francisco.

In the given excerpt, father and son are having a conversation about language. He said that demons may not speak the language they speak but still one can communicate. This is because there is always a common language which helps communicate people. No one has to worry about accent as numbers and diagrams are being discussed with the machines. Thus, statement C is most appropriate.

Answer:

C that a common language is not always necessary for communicationExplanation: i Tried B it was wrong on edge but it c trust me
