Choose the answer that identifies the gerund phrase. The ringing doorbell was distracting him from answering the phone.
Ringing doorbell
was distracting <
Distracting him from answering the phone
Answering the phone

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The gerund phrase functions as a noun, not a verb: here "was distracting" is a verb, so it can't be part of the Gerund phrase.

Ringing has a function of an adjective, so also not.

The correct answer is "answering the phone" -it could be substituted by "it": from it, so we know that it functions as a verb
