Answer:

The correct answers are: infinitive phrase; adjective.

Explanation:

The phrase we are looking at is <em>to write about; </em>given that it contains and infinitive, we can safely assume it's an infinitive phrase. Now, given that it modifies, or describes a noun, it means that it acts as if it were an adjective.

Since adjectives are words or phrases that modify nouns, the function of the infinitival phrase here is that of an adjective. It's not just any topic: it's the best topic <em>to write about.</em>

Read this excerpt from "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."
Anna [14]

Hello. You forgot the answer options. The options are:

It creates sympathy for Mitty since readers recognize that his fantasies show how he'd like to be, not how he actually is.

It builds suspense in the story, as each of Mitty's fantasies places him in more and more danger in reality.

It injects tension in the story, as readers wait to see whether Mitty's wife will realize that her husband is unhappy.

It adds humor to the story, since Mitty acts out all of his fantasies among people who have no idea what he's doing.

Answer:

It creates sympathy for Mitty since readers recognize that his fantasies show how he'd like to be, not how he actually is.

Explanation:

"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" that tells the story of Mitty, who is a man who disconnects himself from the reality in which he lives, constantly, and finds himself trapped in heroic daydreams totally outside the reality in which he is inserted. Although this is not valued by the characters in the book, it does create an empathy between the bed and Mitty. This is because the reader understands that Mitty's daydreams are a reflection of his dissatisfaction with the real world, thus, the daydreams he presents, are a vision of what he wanted to be.
