Answer:

When the sentence is already clear.

It sounds awkward to split the infinitive.

Too much information is inserted between the two parts of the infinitive.

Explanation:

Splitting an infinitive means to put words in between an infinitive. This grammatical construction occurs <u>when a word is put in between the particle "to" and a verb.</u>

Writers should avoid splitting an infinitive as much as possible. This is because it <u>may sound awkward in splitting the infinitive.</u> It can also lead to the inclusion of<u> too much unnecessary information in the sentence</u>. Moreover, it is unnecessary to split infinitives<u> when the sentence is already clear.</u>

Thus, the correct answers are the first, second, and fifth options.

Read the excerpt from “Birches” by Robert Frost.
klemol [59]

Answer: The sun has a wondrous effect on icy birch branches.

Explanation:

Robert Frost in this excerpt speaks of how birches are affected by ice and then by the environment around them from how the birches are bent by ice to how the icy branches are then affected by the wind, rain and sun.

At the end Robert describes the effect the sun has on the branches and notes how the sun enables the birches to shed to snow in such heaps that one might think a part of heaven has fallen. As heaven is considered so beautiful, it must mean that the effect the sun had was a beautiful and wonderful one.

Usimov [2.4K]
