Answer: "To give is one of the best things people can do. Volunteering their time shows what caring people they are".

Explanation: A gerund is a non-finite verb form that ends in -ing and functions as a noun. An infinitive is also a non-finite verb form, but it is formed with "to" and the simple form of a verb. Moreover, an infinitive can work as a noun, an adjective or an adverb. In the passage provided, "giving" is a gerund because it ends in "-ing" and it is working as a noun; therefore, it must be transformed into an infinitive by adding "to" and writing the simple form of the verb: "give". Furthermore, "to volunteer" is an infinitive because it is made up of "to" and the simple form "volunteer". "To volunteer" must be changed into a gerund by deleting the "to" and converting "volunteer" into a gerund: "volunteering".

Read House Taken Over by Julio Cortazar

What is an Unimpressed Tone of the story house taken over?

Answer:

Cortazar relates the story of two siblings finding intruders in their house and deciding to leave the taken areas to them, as they keep taking more and more rooms. The characters, despite the horrible situation, remain calm and talk as if it wasn´t such a big deal.

Explanation:

An unimpressed tone refers to the display of a bizarre event as normal.

Example: "The cleaning was so much simplified that, even when we got up late, nine-thirty for instance, by eleven we were sitting around with our arms folded."
