Which word in the sentence is a gerund? Stretching after running, she touched her fingers to her toes. A. toes B. stretching C. touched D. running

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: A gerund has a -ing at the end, so A. toes and C. touched could not be gerund.

Among the other two options,  B. stretching  and D. running Stretching is a present participle (a verbal form) and running - a noun- is a gerund, since gerunds are nouns.

“What the Pledge of Allegiance Means To Me”Ever since I was little, I said the Pledge of Allegiance every day in school. These words can have different meanings to anybody you ask, but the words in every line have a certain meaning to me.

“I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America” to me means the unchanging love and loyalty to my country and that we are 50 individual states united as one. It is a symbol of freedom and hope to anybody who lives in this country. To some people, our flag may just be a colorful piece of cloth but it’s more than that.

“And to the Republic for which it stands,” means the people of the United States have established laws which allow the men and women to live free.

“One nation under God, indivisible” is a very powerful line in itself. We’re a nation that cannot be divided, that is blessed by God. It gives people the right to practice their own religion and worship God freely.

“With Liberty and Justice for all.” Liberty means freedom! Nobody is above the law and we all have to follow the same laws. “For all” means that no person is better than another. Every person, whether you are male or female, young or old, rich or poor, black or white is equal.
Those 31 words can mean something very powerful when you put them together. I am proud to say them every morning and will never be embarrassed to be an American.
