Choose the sentence that correctly combines the sentences or sentence elements by changing the italicized clause to an infinitiv
katovenus [111]

Answer:

- Kimberly touched the flowers <u>to see</u> if they were real.

Explanation:

Infinitives are defined as the 'non-finite verb(to + base form of the verb) that is considered neutral with respect to inflection.' The sentence 'Kimberly touched the flowers to see if they were real' most aptly links the two clauses using the infinitive 'to see.' In this sentence, 'to see' is functioning as an <u>adjective as it is functioning to qualify the noun 'the flowers</u>.'
