3. In which sentence does the underlined gerund function as the object of a preposition?

Singing was a favorite pastime.
In their free time, the children enjoyed drawing.
The child was dizzy from twirling.

Hello Aang

Only your third example has a preposition with a gerund as its object:

The child was dizzy from twirling.

Here, "from" is a preposition and "twirling" its gerund object.
