In revision A, if you read the sentence out loud you will see that it doesn't flow very well.

In revision B, the semicolon is used incorrectly. Semicolons are used to connect two independent clauses. The second sentence (the one after the semicolon) is actually a dependent clause since it's a sentence that can't stand on its own.

In revision D, the sentence is a fragment.

The correct revision is answer choice C.

Answer:

C. The paragraph uses present-tense verbs. No infinitives are used. Sentences 4 and 5 contain gerunds.

Explanation:

Present tenses are tenses we use to talk about events that are taking place at the present time. There are four types of the present tense: present simple, present continuous, present perfect, and present perfect continuous. Examples of verbs used in the present tense in the given passage are: <em>depends, help, go, </em>and <em>think.</em>

The infinitive is the base form of a verb. It is usually preceded by <em>to</em>. There are no infinitives in the given passage.

A gerund is a noun derived from a verb by adding -<em>ing </em>to it. Examples of gerunds can be found in sentences 4 and 5: <em>feeling </em>and<em> staying.</em>
