Jennifer is running in a track meet.

Respuesta :

Jennifer is running in a track meet

Answer:

The correct answer is Jennifer is running in a track meet.

Explanation:

 We call present participle those words ending in ing. In this case Jennifer is running in a track meet. It can be used as an adjective or as a verb, and this is what differentiates it from the gerund.

Used as adjective: Jennifer is boring

As a verb: Jennifer is running.

The present participle if used both as a verb or as an adjective, will always be accompanied by another verb ---- is boring ----- is running.

Given this information, we can verify that the correct answer is Jennifer is running in a track meet.
