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.

Qualities of Strong Relationships essay

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Two of the most important qualities in healthy, long-lasting relationships are communication and vulnerability.

Communication involves both transparency to talk about anything which praises or challenges the relationship as well as close attention to listen and internalize feedback. Open, judgement-free communication allows people to feel meaningful and respected as it promotes personal growth through good disposition to let feedback shape us. Therefore, a sense of stability is created which encourages preference for one such relationship over many others lacking these essential elements.

Vulnerability is the act of allowing others to see our true self, (weaknesses, fears and needs included) as well as that of opening trust channels to let others show us theirs. Vulnerability allows people to feel a deeper level of emotional involvement which increases positive attachment in any relationship. It is not easy to accomplish given our drive for self-preservation which naturally avoids potential emotional pain after a let down. However, only by incresingly putting our guard down and creating healthy spaces for others to put down theirs can we assure a relationship to stand the test of time.

Communication and vulnerability contribute to healthy, long lasting relationships.
