I'm sorry, but they are all wrong. Please go back and study your text materials again.
Okay thanks!

Is # 1, A?
# 2 is D?
#3 is B?
Are you supposed to be identifying the words in parentheses?

You have # 2 correct. Are you guessing?
I'm not guessing, just confused

#1 has to be adverb because there are no adjectives

#3 has to be subject because swimming is the subject
The prepositional phrase in # 1 is an adjective phrase, modifying stamps.

In # 3, one is the subject. The gerund phrase in parentheses is a predicate nominative, following the linking verb, is.
