sorry for the repetitive questions! otherwise thank you for taking the time to check my answers.
Underline the gerund, some do not have a gerund if so write ''no gerund.''
1. Sketching is fun for me.

3. She and I are singing in the chorus tonight.
No gerund

5. Traveling comes second or third on my list of favorites.

6. What is the most interesting hobby for you?

3 is wrong. The others are correct.
You're right. 3. does not have a gerund. Singing is part of the verb, are singing.
All are right.
I disagree on #3, and that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)
