The gerund "Traveling" is functioning as the subject of the sentence. So the correct response is:

It is the subject of the sentence.

The sentence that includes a gerund is:

I am running a marathon this weekend.

In this sentence, "running" is the gerund.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
I apologize for the oversight. Let's review the options again:

1. **A healthy breakfast of steaming hot biscuits is served.** - No gerund.
2. **I am running a marathon this weekend.** - "Running" is a present participle, not a gerund in this context.
3. **My family is impressed by my cooking.** - "Cooking" is a gerund.
4. **The runners are lacing up their shoes.** - No gerund.

The correct answer is:

**My family is impressed by my cooking.**

Thank you for your patience, and I'm sorry for the mistake!
