No, on that one it was pride that is abstract and collective because of the two different meanings.

The picture of a polar bear right underneath got my mind on the right track. Otherwise, I might have missed it.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

You mean "pride"?  That's one of the two I got wrong.  I'll cop to being wrong on the prepositional phrase one, but "pride" is not a fucking (gerund :) ) collective noun.
That's not a gerund, that's an adjective. Your misunderstanding of what a gerund is is a gerund.

14/14. English grammar seems to be less complex than German or French grammar.
