The essence of cool

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Explain the following exchange from Romeo and Juliet:

Mercutio: "Nay, gentle Romeo, we must have you dance." Romeo: "Not I, believe me. You have dancing shoes With nimble soles; I have a soul of lead So stakes me to the ground I cannot move."

Answer and Explanation:

In the text shown above, we can see that Mercutio is encouraging Romeo and encouraging him to forget his love problems and have fun. Mercutio tries to show Romeu that it is not worth it to suffer for an unrequited love, but that he must take advantage of the opportunities for entertainment that appear. However, Romeo says he can't do it, because his soul is loaded and heavy with problems.

Which part of this sentences contains an infinitive
Stels [109]

to enrich

An infinitive is the basic form of the verb without a subject. When it is used in a sentence, it is preceded by "to". The correct answer is the one with a verb. To test it out just ask yourself if you can use it with the subject I after dropping "to". I enrich? Yes! Check, it's right. You can't say I the delight or I Tuesday mornings. The rest of the options are prepositional phrases because they start with the preposition to and end in a noun (person, place, thing, or idea).
