The excerpt above is from page 21 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J. K. Rowling. Which passage represents a paraphra

se from the excerpt above?
A wind sweeps gently over the trimmed hedges of Privet Drive, which lies quiet and neat under the dark sky, not a place where one would expect anything out of the ordinary to occur (Rowling 21).
Harry Potter lies outside his aunt and uncle's house, unaware that his life has changed forever (Rowling 21).
While Potter lies outside his aunt and uncle's house, he "[sleeps] on, not knowing he [is] special” and praised all over the country (Rowling 21).
The Harry Potter books are so entertaining because they paint a picture of a world in which we all want to live. We all long to find that extraordinary secret that will reveal our own special quality. Like little infant Potter waiting outside his aunt and uncle's house (Rowling 21), it's just a matter of time until we find that we are, after all, special.

Which one contains an infinitive?
Elan Coil [88]

The phrase that is infinitive is given in option (a): to go to the store. Therefore, "to" is the first word, "go" is the verb, and ends with the place "store."

<h3>What are infinitive phrases?</h3>

A combination of words known as an infinitive phrase includes an infinitive, a modifier, pronouns, direct objects, indirect objects, or complements of the action or state described in the infinitive.

Find the word to first, then look for the infinitive phrase. Second, it is an infinitive if the word immediately after to is a verb. Third, the infinitive phrase starts at to and finishes at the end of the sentence if it occurs in the midst of the sentence.

Alternative example:

Dawn assisted her friend in making a cake for his mother.

('Helped' is the "special" verb.) Her companion is the direct object. The bare infinitive of the infinitive phrase is "bake." A cake is its direct object. This time, the infinitive sentence also has an indirect object ("his mother").

Hence, option (a) contains infinitive.

*picture attached* it’s pretty easy, but usually bad at this. BEST and WORST answer. Please help.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

I think the best response would be to consult with your supervisor to avoid being in a heated conversation with the customer. The worst response would probably be to ask what prices she had in mind. No one wants to say what prices they had in mind because its embarrassing.
