He runs after the ball because he will be receiving a treat if he returns the ball to his owner. Which of the following shows the gerund(s)? (1 point) Responses learning, exciting learning, exciting - no response given rolling, exciting, receiving rolling, exciting, receiving - incorrect rolling rolling - no response given learning, rolling, exciting, receiving

Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

The gerunds in the sentence provided are "learning," "rolling," and "receiving." A gerund is a verb form that ends in -ing and functions as a noun. Therefore, the correct response is:

**learning, rolling, receiving**

Answer 3

I apologize for the oversight. In the context of the sentence you provided, the gerunds are "learning" and "rolling."

"Receiving" functions as part of a verb phrase rather than as a gerund in this context.

So the correct answer is: **learning, rolling**. Thank you for your understanding!
