<u>Answer</u>:

<u>Infinitive</u> : “to read”

<u>Use</u>: Adjective

<u>Explanation</u>:

'Infinitive' is the basic form of a verb. Any verb that is prefixed by 'to' is an infinitive. For example: to love, to read, to run and so on.

In the given sentence, the infinitive is 'to read' and its used as 'adjective' here. Infinitive can be used as Noun, verb or adjective. To find out how an infinitive is used, break the sentence into 'simple subject' and 'simple predicate', locate the infinitive with 'to'.

If infinitive modifies the noun, it is used as adjective. In the given example, to read is modifying the noun 'book', i.e. a good book ''to read''. So, 'to read' is used as an "adjective" here.

Answer:

D. The city can choose to get rid of benefits now that proposition 3 has passed.

Explanation:

The other answer choices simply seem more negative than D. The option of "choice" gives the statement a mild sense of optimism, which can make you think that this can easily be resolved. It's the most neutral, unlike the other choices that continue to just put down the city's decision with negative words like "shouldn't", "can't", and "isn't".
