Answer: I’m working <u>to save</u> up for some new music.

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

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

Explanation:

The infinitive in English expresses the meaning of the verb in a general way, without reference to any verbal tense.

As a rule in English grammar, when a verb is in infinitive it must be preceded by the particle <em>'to'</em>, for example, <em>'to play'</em>.

According to this explanation, only the following sentences contain an infinitive:

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

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

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

The other sentences, although have the particle 'to' are not followed by a verb.

Answers with Explanations:

1. Ned said, <em>"I just love working in the hot sun. When can we do it again?"</em>

Ned exclaimed the opposite of what he's actually feeling because, in reality, <em>he doesn't want to work under the hot sun.</em> By asking the question<em> "When can we do it again?,"</em> actually means that<u> he is not looking forward to another day to working in the hot sun.</u>

2. Billy Fisher was a minor character and remained one as an adult.

This statement actually meant that <em>Billy Fisher's importance in the story only remained as a minor one </em>and <u>he never progressed</u> until the he grew older into an adult.

3. Kara read that Tom Sawyer tricked the boys. What a good friend!" she remarked.

Kara actually meant that Tom Sawyer's tricking the boys was a <u>mischievous thing to do.</u> Thus, she stated in verbal irony that he was a <em>"good friend" </em>when, in fact, what he did wasn't good.

4. His friends none the wiser, Tom surveyed the results of his whitewashing.

Tom actually didn't do the whitewashing, it was Ben and the his other friends whom he lured into whitewashing as he told them it was an enjoyable thing to do. Being given the chance to do the whitewashing, Tom's friends gave him a prize in return.

The 4th, it revealed that "Meeting his gaze that weighed up her beauty and priced it before offering the dowry" the definition of dowry is 'property or money brought by a bride to her husband on their marriage" also,  the man was most likely doing business with her father, it gives the reader some hints that the answer is 'Samia's father planned to charge Abboud Bey a price to marry his daughter' Hope it helped!
