Explanation: 1. In this sentence, the correct form is "pretending" because the phrase "tired of" is followed by a verb, so we use the gerund form. 2. The correct form is "to hear" because "seem" is followed by the infinitive form of the verb. 3. The correct form is "keeping" because "good at" is followed by the gerund form. 4. The correct form is "pouring" because "saw" is followed by the gerund form. 5. The correct form is "troubling" because "pardon me for" is followed by the gerund form. 6. The correct form is "being" because the phrase "wouldn't help" is followed by the gerund form. 7. The correct form is "to have gained" because "seemed" is followed by the infinitive form of the verb. 8. The correct form is "ringing" because "kept" is followed by the gerund form.
