Answer:

The infinitive phrase is "To do one's best" and the object of the infinitive phrase is "best".

Explanation:

An infinitive phrase starts with an infinitive - "to" and the simple form of a verb. It also includes objects and or modifiers. For example:

- To achieve my goals is a necessity I have in life. - the underlined section is the infinitive phrase.

The object of an infinitive phrase is the word (noun or pronoun) being affected by the infinitive. In the example above, "my goals" is the object.

Having that information in mind, let's analyze the sentence given in the question:

- To do one's best is the ultimate goal. - the underlined section (infinitive + object) is the infinitive sentence.

The word being affected by the infinitive is "best", which makes it the object - it's as if we are answering the question "to do one's what?"

And by using either the simple present or the continuous form, we can understand what events/verbs are done frequently or things we do all the time, or occurring at the same time it is talked about.

The verbs in parenthesis are changed in the present simple or continuous form as follows-
