In John Steinbeck’s “The Turtle,” what action does the driver of the light truck take when he sees the turtle?

1 answer:

8 0

Unlike the woman in the sedan who swung off the road in an effort not to hit the turtle, the driver of the light truck actually veered to hit it. So, he struck it on the verge of the shell, and it flipped and flew off the road, to safety. Frightened and motionless, the turtle kept lying on its back, and then it started an effort to roll over and go away.

Locate the infinitive. Since it is used as a noun, determine its noun use. He likes to be chief. Infinitive: Use:

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Your answer would be "to be chief".

Explanation:

"To be chief" is an infinitive clause which functions as the direct object of the transitive verb likes. An infinitive is a verbal consisting of the particle to plus a verb. In this case, the transitive verb to like selects two arguments: the NP he and the infinitive clause to be chief. In this way, it is possible to say that the inifinitive clause functions as an noun phrase. NPs usually occupy the direct object position.
