    The sentences that have gerund are first, second, fifth and sixth sentence. The gerund has the same form as a present participle, but the gerund always has the same function as a noun with different uses.

    In the first sentence (Slithering snakes are common on the trail.) gerund is "slithering" and is used in compound noun.

    In the second sentence (With all the walking, you must be tired.) the gerund "walking" is used as a subject.

    In the fifth sentence (Watching television is my favorite way to relax.) the gerund "watching" is used as subject.

    In the fifth sentence (Yawning can be contagious.) the gerund "yawning" is used as the subject.
