English

Answer:

<em>The best preparation for a game is </em><em>to practice until you know all the plays</em><em>. </em>

<em>The crowd was excited</em><em> to see a great play. </em>

<em>To cheer good plays made by both teams</em><em> is good sportsmanship.</em>

Explanation:

An infinitive phrase is a set of words, with an infinitive as its main part and with some modifiers and complements as an addition. All these words act as one phrase and have one function in a sentence (infinitive phrase can act as a noun or an adjective or an adverb).

Since nothing is underlined in these answers, let's find infinitive phrases for each of them:

-The best preparation for a game is to practice until you know all the plays - infinitive here is "to practice" but if we want to be more precise on the amount of practice and to modify this infinitive, then our phrase would be "to practice until you know all the plays".

- The crowd was excited to see a great play - the infinitive is "to see" but we don't know what, so the entire phrase is "to see a great play"

- To cheer good plays made by both teams is good sportsmanship - the infinitive is "to cheer" and the sentence "To cheer is good sportsmanship" could be valid. But, if we want to be more precise, we would say "to cheer good plays". Of course, we can go into even more details and say the entire phrase "to cheer food plays made by both teams"

Identify the italicized word according to its class in structural linguistics. The principal is extremely busy.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The italicized word is <em>extremely </em>and the correct answer is intensive.
The word extremely is an adverb, which means that you can rule out <em>noun, adjective, </em>and <em>verb </em>immediately. You can also rule out <em>empty word </em>because <em>extremely </em>has a particular meaning on its own, which means that it cannot be empty. Thus, we are left with one option only - <em />intensive.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

The Hadleys were thrilled to purchase their Happylife Home and were proud to provide their children with the high-tech nursery, a "miracle of efficiency selling for an absurdly low price." The nursery gives the children hours of entertainment, and the house itself performs all the chores that would otherwise occupy George and Lydia's time. There is no need for a routine, since all the cooking and cleaning are silently taken care of by the house, and there is no need for much personal interaction, either. Even...
