<p>The correct idiot is adopting a practice BY doing something but how do u know if u use “to honor” or “in honoring”?</p>
<p>the answer is by many cities to honor. (D)</p>
<p>Just think of it as subject-action: “the practice… to honor”.</p>
<p>Here’s a better explanation:
Honoring is a noun gerund, much like swimming. There’s already a subject, “the practice”, so honoring is incorrect in context.</p>
<p>“To honor” is more concise and more directly related to purpose; “in honoring” could just be referring to an act that happened in the process of honoring, while “to honor” conveys a strong sense of purpose.</p>
