Explanation

In the sentence "Children were making love castle",

the word "making" is a verb, but specifically, it functions as a main verb in the sentence

Verb: "Making" is a form of the verb "make,"  indicating an action.

Main verb: "Making" is the main verb,  part of the verb phrase "were making."

The structure of the sentence is the past continuous tense (with the auxiliary verb "were" and the main verb "making").


NOTE 

Why "making" is not a gerund:

A gerund is the -ing form of a verb that functions as a noun.

For example, in the sentence "Making love castles is fun," "making" would be a gerund, as it is the subject of the sentence.

However, in your example, "making" is describing an action, not functioning as a noun.

Explanation

We are given: (-2x)^3

To solve this, we need to cube both -2 and x separately:

(-2)^3 * x^3

Calculating the cube of -2:

(-2) * (-2) * (-2) = -8

So, the expression becomes:

-8 * x^3

Explanation

Note: The answer given in the FPSC answer key is (a) but the actual answer is (b)

To simplify the expression (x^(1/2)) * (x^(-1/2)), we can use the rule of exponents:

x^a * x^b = x^(a+b)

Applying this rule, we get:

(x^(1/2)) * (x^(-1/2)) = x^(1/2 + (-1/2)) = x^0

Any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.

Therefore, (x^(1/2)) * (x^(-1/2)) = 1.

Explanation

To calculate the average (or mean) of a data set, you use the formula:

Average=Sum of all values/Number of values​

Given:

• The sum of all 10 values in the data set is 10.
• The number of values is 10.

Using the formula:

Average=10/10​=1
