What is true when a noun precedes a gerund (a verb form ending in -ing that is used as a noun)? both function as adjectives. you should use possessive pronouns or add an apostrophe and the letter s (that is, 's) to the noun to indicate ownership. you should place a comma before the noun to avoid creating a run-on sentence?

Read the excerpt from poe’s "the fall of the house of usher." his ordinary occupations were neglected or forgotten. he roamed from chamber to chamber with hurried, unequal, an objectless step. the pallor of his countenance had assumed, if possible, a more ghastly hue -- but the luminousness of his eye had utterly gone out. which statement best describes the effect of the narration on the story? the narration reveals usher’s feelings of discouragement. the narration reveals usher’s absent-mindedness after his loss. the narration suggests usher’s confusion in the wake of his loss. the narration suggests usher’s mental decline after his sister’s death.
