Explanation:
A gerund is a word formed from a verb by adding<em> -ing</em> that acts as a noun. It has some properties of a verb, though, as it can be modified by an adverb and take a direct object.
An example of a gerund used in a sentence:
- <em>Reading </em><em>is good for you. </em>(<em>Reading - read + ing</em>. It acts as a noun and it's the subject of the sentence).
A gerund phrase is a phrase that contains a gerund and other modifiers or objects associated with it (<em>Cutting our own tree at Christmas time, Losing my wallet</em>).
The sentence in which the underlined verb is used correctly in the subjunctive mood is the one that reads "if I were you, I would try out for the lead in the school play".
In the English language, the subjunctive mood is used to talk about conditional or imaginary situations. In this case, it has been used to explore a condition which is contrary to fact, that is, the person speaking is not the addressee. That is why the sentence reads "if i were you". It is a piece of advise.
I really believe that one is "Women are not entitled to vote because all the laws were created by men for men" and two is "<span>Women are forced to pay all the taxes despite there being no mention of females in tax laws,"</span>
