Check all that apply. Writers should avoid splitting an infinitive when the sentence is already clear. it sounds awkward to spli

t the infinitive. using one makes the sentence stronger. doing so is necessary to avoid confusion. too much information is inserted between the two parts of the infinitive.

<u>Writers should avoid splitting an infinitive when</u>: The sentence is already clear; It sounds awkward to split the infinitive; Too much information is inserted between the two parts of the infinitive. To split an infinitive is to put a word or words between the infinitive marker—the word to—and the root verb that follows it. Writers should avoid splitting an infinitive because it expresses a single idea (a unit of thought), and they must try to keep its two parts—the marker to and the root verb that follows it—together if they can. The writers´ job is to make the reader’s job easy like keeping logical units of thought intact. It would be an effort to make English grammar function in the same way that Latin grammar does: An infinitive is a single word and therefore cannot be split.

<em>The infinitive is the form of the verb that has the "to" in front of it (does not function in sentences as verbs but rather as adverbs, adjectives, or nouns).</em>

In 2–3 complete sentences, thoroughly explain the theme of your Module One short story. What message or big idea does the author
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Difficult times can make someone lie.

Explanation:

In the story 'Condensed Milk', the author tries to communicate the idea that it is alright to lie when someone has bad intentions towards you. Though no specific phrase mentions this idea, we can understand through the whole story that the author did what was best for him which was by lying to Shestakov that he would go along with him if he bring him food. It was such a difficult time for him that he had to lie just to get some food.

The lines " 'You know,’ I said, carefully licking the spoon, ‘I changed my mind. Go without me.’" and "I mean, after all, two cans of condensed milk aren’t such a big deal." presents the idea that he lied to him because the escape plan was devised and he just wanted some food.
