Answer: B) i’m working to save up for some new music, D) denise likes to get her exercise by dancing, and E) dave has to walk the dog every morning.

Explanation: An infinitive is the basic form of a verb, without an inflection binding it to a particular subject or tense. It is preceded by a particle “to,” and can serve as an adjective, an adverb, or a noun. From the given options, the ones that contain an example of infinitives are the options B, D, and E, because they have the particle "to" followed by a verb. In options A and C, the word "to" acts like a preposition and it isn't followed by a verb.

The infinitive is the base form of a verb that has no inflection binding it to a particular subject or tense. Some examples are <em>to think, to be, to see</em>. The infinitive verbs of the sentences are in bold:

2. I'm working <u>to save up</u> for some new music.

4. Denise likes <u>to get</u> her exercise by dancing

5. Dave has <u>to walk </u>the dog every morning.

Sentences number 1 and 3 do not contain an infinitive. The use of the preposition "to" here expresses motion or direction toward a point, person, place, or thing.

Discuss the contributions of Romantic-Era writers/poets such as Thoreau and Emerson.
user100 [1]

Answer:

Emerson was one of the founders of Transcendentalism in America. An offshoot of the Romantic movement, Transcendentalism and its writers focused on creating a uniquely American voice in literature. Part of a movement called the New England Renaissance or the American Renaissance, Transcendentalism established the idea that American literature should have its own concerns and voice and should not simply try to emulate European literature. Instead, Emerson's writings, such as "Self-Reliance," stressed the importance of developing one's own talents and emphasized the importance of cultivating what is great in oneself. By extension, his writings emphasized the importance of developing an American literature that was not concerned with European models. Over time, as Emerson believed in the freedom of each person, he became an advocate of abolition, and he inspired others to fight against slavery.
