Identify whether the underlined phrase is a gerund phrase, an infinitive phrase, or a participial phrase.
(Having graduated) summa laude from Princeton, Patrick was ready to start.
A. gerund
B. infinitive
C. participial

** My answer is A. gerund **
Answered by Ms. Sue
No. A gerund is a noun. But this phrase describes the noun, Patrick.
