Bess Crawford is the main character
Answer:
Your answer would be "to be chief".
Explanation:
"To be chief" is an infinitive clause which functions as the direct object of the transitive verb <em>likes. </em>An infinitive is a verbal consisting of the particle <em>to </em>plus a verb. In this case, the transitive verb <em>to like</em> selects two arguments: the NP <em>he </em>and the infinitive clause <em>to be chief. </em>In this way, it is possible to say that the inifinitive clause functions as an noun phrase. NPs usually occupy the direct object position.
Well, if you think about it, if your sentences are super short, you get right to the point and we don't know any of the important details.
Example: The dog died. (short and choppy)
Verses: The suffering K-9 limped along the alley, energy slowly dripping away. He walked in the rain, not noticing the puddles he was trodding through. At length, he reached his almost flooded dog house, where he laid down. His he fell asleep never to wake again, finally at peace.
Make sense? Hope this helped! Sorry for the depressing example ;)
