Explanation:

To determine which sentences have a verbal phrase acting as a noun, we analyze each:

• "To be or not to be is a silly question": The infinitive phrase "To be or not to be" acts as the subject (a noun function).
• "She rose, taking the tablecloth with her": "taking the tablecloth with her" is a participial phrase acting as an adverb (not a noun).
• "Walking the dog is a fun chore": The gerund phrase "Walking the dog" acts as the subject (noun function).
• "You have always been a good friend": No verbal phrase acting as a noun.
• "Take time to smell the roses": "to smell the roses" is an infinitive phrase acting as an adjective (modifying "time"), not a noun.

So the correct sentences are the first and third.

Answer:

• "To be or not to be is a silly question."
• "Walking the dog is a fun chore."
