Simple Gerund Phrases vs. Complex Gerund Phrases

IMO: A

@GmatKiss

My answer was also A but the right answer is B.

Not sure why....

I would also go for A because I think with for we use ing form of verb

Folks, this is what I guess.

The word "Responsible" - my assumption is an action noun. If my assumption is right, then a complex gerund would be preferred over a simple gerund when it comes to pairing up with an action noun or a lits of action nouns. Complex gerund by definition can be an "ing" form preceded by an article and be followed by a preposition "of".

We should never using a gerund nextto preposition......it should be followed by a noun....So the answer is B

Hi Chaitanya 1986,

Are u sure on this????

MMAT SC Guide says we must preferably use an action noun instead of a complex gerund when the noun form exits . The Sentence in B doesn't have complex gerunds . It has Nouns .
A has simple gerunds . I guess the rule that is meant for complex gerunds must apply to simple gerunds as well
PS I chose A

Yeah Aspirant!!!!!You can take it as accepted.No Worries.

but Gerund can act as a Noun as well as a verb........your rule is valid for verb gerund right????

Hi Experts,

Please post your comments on the two sentences that are under evaluation.

I feel that both sentence are grammatically correct, and the choice of selection is based on the meaning that the two sentences are conveying.

Choice A can be interpreted to say the team itself CREATES and DETECTS, whereas Choice B says the team is overall responsible for DETECTION AND CREATION.

Please suggest ASAP.

Thanks !!!

They're both 100% grammatically correct.

I have never heard of "the detection" being called a "complex gerund" -- it's just a noun.

Yeh Both seems correct and ||
