Explanation:

• Question (top unnumbered): A gerund is a verb form ending in -ing that acts as a noun. "going" fits this definition.
• Question 24: A predicate noun renames or identifies the subject after a linking verb (here, "was"). The gerund "going" identifies the subject "achievement".
• Question 25: A gerund ends in -ing and functions as a noun. "scoring" is the verb form in -ing acting as a noun here.
• Question 26: The gerund "scoring" follows the preposition "by", so it functions as the object of the preposition.

Answer:

• (Top unnumbered question): D. going
• Question 24: C. Predicate Noun
• Question 25: A. scoring
• Question 26: Object of the Preposition (the correct option from the partial list, matching the function)
