After all the gardening we did

This is taken from MGMAT SC guide:


8) After all the gardening we did, the sun shining on the flowerbeds make a beautiful sight

The book answer is:
After all the gardening we did, the sun shining on the flowerbeds makes a beautiful sight.


The book says to eliminate "shining on the flowerbeds". I first thought that shining was the verb here. Is there a way we can identify the correct verb used here? Thanks for your help.


10) A new textbook focused on recent advances in AI assigned by our instructor.

Ans:
A new textbook focused on recent advances in AI was assigned by our instructor.

Is "assigned" the verb here? And is "textbook" the subject?

Thanks.

Regards,
Sri
