Answer: split infinitive

Explanation: The sentence: I whispered the instructions to quietly leave the building is an example of the <u><em>split infinitive</em></u>. The split infinitive is when there is an adverb between the<em> to</em> and <em>the verb.</em> It is usually avoided thinking that it is incorrect, but that is not so<em>. </em>Some grammar rules state that splitting infinitives is not the best way to write.<em> </em>The split infinitive is sometimes used to emphasize the adverb.

I'd say split infinitive!
i say this because <span>the infinitive, "to leave," is split into two by "quietly."</span>
i think the sentence should say. "I whispered the instructions to leave the building quietly."
