Answer 1

ANSWER:

Gerund: When a verb form is used as the subject of a verb, it is known as gerund. It is sometimes governed by an object, subject, and preposition.

When -ing forms are used as adverbs, verbs, adjectives, such forms are called present participles. They can refer to the past, present or future. When such -ing forms are used as nouns they are called Gerunds.

In the given sentence, ‘Amassing’ is a gerund where object of verb is ‘ruins’. Here the gerund acts like a force of a verb.
