Which one contains an infinitive?

1 answer:

6 0

The phrase that is infinitive is given in option (a): to go to the store. Therefore, "to" is the first word, "go" is the verb, and ends with the place "store."

<h3>What are infinitive phrases?</h3>

A combination of words known as an infinitive phrase includes an infinitive, a modifier, pronouns, direct objects, indirect objects, or complements of the action or state described in the infinitive.

Find the word to first, then look for the infinitive phrase. Second, it is an infinitive if the word immediately after to is a verb. Third, the infinitive phrase starts at to and finishes at the end of the sentence if it occurs in the midst of the sentence.

Alternative example:

Dawn assisted her friend in making a cake for his mother.

('Helped' is the "special" verb.) Her companion is the direct object. The bare infinitive of the infinitive phrase is "bake." A cake is its direct object. This time, the infinitive sentence also has an indirect object ("his mother").

Hence, option (a) contains infinitive.

Consider the last two lines of the poem again. Why do you think the old woman sees herself as a terrible fish? Why did she choos

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The woman sees herself as a terrible fish because her younger self is drowning and disappearing as she is getting older. Which is why this is a great form of imagery because the reader can see a terrible fish drowning just like her younger self is drowning in her new body. I believe that she chose to compare herself to a fish because she feels that she is aging fast and ultimately nearing death.

Explanation:

The mirror explains, in the final lines, "In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."

The woman was said to have awatched as her youth slowly disappear or fade over the years of looking into the same mirror, which is why the mirror interprets that as a kind of "drowning" of the woman's youth. While te "terrible fish," then, is the specter of old age, the total loss of youth and vitality.

Which act required colonial assemblies to house and pay British soldiers?

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

D. Quartering Act

Explanation:

the Mutiny (or Quartering) Act of 1765 required colonial assemblies to house and supply British soldiers. Many colonists objected to the presence of a "standing army" in the colonies.

The Quartering Act of 1765 required the colonies to house British soldiers in barracks provided by the colonies. If the barracks were too small to house all the soldiers, then localities were to accommodate the soldiers in local inns, livery stables, ale houses, victualling houses and the houses of sellers of wine.
