IDENTIFY THE GERUND PHRASE

C Playing hooky on a regular basis is a good way to lose your job                            is   the only gerund phrase

playing hooky on a regular basis = is a subject gerund complement phrase
 Playing = gerund phrase always begins with a gerund
hooky =  object of the gerund =  gerund complement
on a regular basis =  a modifier (I think)
A = having been a gymnast = present participle phrase
B = the guy wearing the chicken suit costume is = main clause (wearing = present participle)
D= Starbuck walking (present participle)along the counter = dependant clause

hope I helped !
