The correct answer is option B) "To play an instrument requires a lot of determination and practice."

Infinitive phrases have different functions within a sentence. In this case, the infinitive "to play" is<u> acting as the noun</u> ans subject of the sentence.

In option A) the infinitive "to relax" functions as an adjective since it is modifying the noun "vacation".

In option C) the infinitive "to study" functions as an adjective as it is modifying the noun "time".

And finally, in option D) the infinitive "to avoid" functions as an adverb because it explains the "why".

So, the only case in which the infinitive acts as a noun is option B).

Match the generalization about life to thecharacter that makes it.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The best way to answer this question is by quoting what the characters say or explaining their characterizations.

1. Everyone has troubles: Dr. Gibbs

According to Dr. Gibbs "They'll have a lot of troubles, I suppose, but that's none of our business.  Everybody has a right to their own troubles."

2. All people were meant to get married: Mrs. Gibbs

Mrs. Gibbs is portrayed as a typical housewife whose only duty is to be a good wife and mother. She cleans the house, takes care of the kids and leads a simple life.

3. Gives George the advice his own father gave him on marriage: Mr. Webb

In the following passage, Mr. Webb gives George the advice:

George, I was thinking the other night of some advice my father gave me when I got married. Charles, he said, Charles, start out early showing who's boss, he said. Best thing to do is to give an order, even if it don't make sense; just so she'll learn to obey. And he said: if anything about your wife irritates you…her conversation, or anything…just get up and leave the house. That'll make it clear to her, he said. And, oh, yes! he said never, never let your wife know how much money you have, never."

4. laments that girls are unprepared for marriage: Mrs. Webb

Mrs. Webb states "It came over me at breakfast this morning; there was Emily eating her  breakfast as she's done for seventeen years and now she's going off to eat it in  someone else's house. Oh, I've got to say it: you know, there's something  downright cruel about sending our girls out into marriage this way. I hope  some of her girl friends have told her a thing or two. It's cruel, I know, but I  couldn't bring myself to say anything. I went into it blind as a bat myself."

5. expresses the need for love: Emily

Emily is a romantic idealist that accepts being a submissive wife just because she needs to feel that George loves her. She even represses her feelings for this.

6. expresses the search for happiness: Mrs. Soames

Mrs. Soames constantly looks for happiness, for example, she remembers  how happy she was at Emily´s lovely wedding, she thinks that Emily and George are a great couple, and she agrees with dead Emily that people do not enjoy life.

The noise level from next door was so loud that it was no longer tolerable.
Paul [167]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The easiest method is to substitute each option in place of tolerated. That being said, C doesn't make sense because it sounds wrong- "it was no longer already tolerated" isn't grammatically correct.  

B doesn't sound right but there's (technically) nothing wrong with the grammar.

Tolerate means you ARE able to accept or endure something. Tolerable is the adjective version of that.

This can be tricky because you may think it's asking for the meaning of the phrase and not the word tolerable. It's only asking for tolerable.

That being said, A and B are the opposite meaning of tolerable- they mean you cannot endure it, which is the opposite.

D is the answer.
