The infinitive phrase is functioning as a direct object in B.

(b) After all that exercise, the runners needed to drink water.

Take the verb "to need". This transitive verb takes two arguments, one that functions as the NP subject of the sentence and denotes the one undergoing the need ("the runners")  and an NP direct object depicting what the subject needs ("to drink water").

In A the infinitive phrase functions as the subject of  the sentence ("to run in a marathon") and the same applies in D ("to cheer on the runners"). In C, the infinitive phrase ("to give an award") functions as the complement of the preposition about.

Lee often uses humor in the telling of To Kill a Mockingbird. Explain one example of Lee's humor from the reading.
masha68 [24]

Answer and Explanation:

An example of humor that we can see in this book is reflected in many conversations between Atticus and Scout, especially when Jem says a very disrespectful word, to blacks, that he heard at school. At this moment, Atticus shows how the use of this word is improper, mainly in a school that should promote education. In that moment, humor is used, as Scout says that she shouldn't go to school, since that is where she is learning bad words.

Humor in this case is used sarcastically, criticizing people who encourage prejudice and outrage, when they should do the opposite
