Answer:

The correct answer is indeed letter B) Accepting the award, Marla wanted to thank everyone.

Explanation:

In the sentence "Accepting the award, Marla wanted to thank everyone", we have the present participle "accepting". The present participle is formed by adding -ing to a verb. It can function as an adjective - and as the initiator of an adjective phrase or clause, as is the case here - or as a part of a continuous tense. We also have an infinitive functioning as the object of the verb wanted. What did Marla want? To thank. To thank is an infinitive, a verb in its base form.

The answer is:

  • B. Accepting the award, Marla wanted to thank everyone.

All other sentences have the verbs in certain tenses. In sentence B <u><em>accepting</em></u> is <u>the present participle</u>, and <em><u>to thank</u></em> is the <u>full infinitive</u>.
