Answer 2

Answer:

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:

An infinitive is a word/ phrase that functions as an adverb, noun, or adjective. Infinitives are identified by the use of "to+verb" in the sentence.

Splitting an infinitive is when the "to+verb" structure is disrupted by the addition of an adverb between the two parts of the infinitive. That means an adverb is inserted in-between "to" and "Verb", thus making it "to+adverb+verb" form.

Therefore, writers should avoid splitting infinitives when the sentence is already clear, for the adverb in the infinitive becomes redundant. Moreover, splitting an infinitive must also be avoided if its use makes the sentence awkward and too much information has already been inserted in between the two parts of the infinitive.
