It is B, you are finding the infinitive as a direct object, in the answer B "to drink water" is the infinitive.

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.

mixas84 [53]

According to Virginia Woolf, the things that a woman needs in order to successfully write are:

1. self-esteem and a clear goal for writing

3. financial security

4. a room to be alone

In <em>A Room of One's Own</em>, one of her non-fiction books, Virginia Woolf states that a woman needs certain things in order to be successful as a writer. First of all, <u>she believed that a woman needed financial security, that is to say money, in order to be independent</u>. Moreover,<u> for her it was very important that a woman had a room of her own in order to focus exclusively in what she wanted to write</u>. Furthermore, according to Virginia Woolf, <u>self-esteem and a clear goal were also vital to create a good literary work</u>. On the other hand, she considered that a husband and children were distractions to a woman that wanted to become a novelist.

Which sentence uses all its nominative case pronouns correctly?
Olenka [21]

The answer is the first option: We live on the same street.


The nominative case takes subject pronouns only, since the pronouns are the subjects of the sentences. They are: I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they.

Options b, c and d have object pronouns - them, me and him - acting as subject pronouns and, consequently, as subjects to the verbs, making the sentences grammatically wrong.

What vivid image, typical of Elizabethan drama, does Shakespeare create when Macbeth says to Ross, “...why do you dress me/ in b
Bond [772]

The central topic in this scene is clothing. When King Duncan grants Macbeth with thane of Cawdor, Macbeth refers to this title as "borrowed robes" because thane is alive and he doesn't want to wear the old man's clothing. Clothing is a symbolism for rank here representing the status in a community, in this scene in a royal one. Macbeth doesn't want the rank while the holder is still alive.
