Answer:

Infinitive phrase

Explanation:

Verbals phrases are phrases that contain a verbal, that is to say, a verb form that does not act as a verb but as another part of speech in a sentence like adjectives, nouns, and adverbs; and modifiers, objects or complements of that verbal.

There are three types of verbal phrases, and one of them is the infinitive phrase. In the Infinitive phrase, the verbal is preceded by the word "to", and it can act as a noun, an adverb or an adjective depending on the sentence. Here are some examples (the infinitive phrases are in bold):

<em>To go out with him</em><em> is something that I do not ever expect to do. (It works as a noun and subject of the sentence).</em>

<em>I went to Chile </em><em>to enjoy a different environment</em><em>. (It works as an adverb: it modifies the verb "went").</em>

<em>I need new paintings </em><em>to my art project </em><em>(It works as an adjective, modifying the noun "painting").</em>

7. Do you have any reservations about taking this course? Explain. How can I help?
MrMuchimi

Reservations in this context could mean doubts, such as 'My mom had reservations about going out to shop."

This means that their mom was not sure if she wanted to go shopping or not because she has reasons not to.

Why is diction important in a piece of writing?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

I believe the answer to be letter B) It is essential for clear and understandable written communication.

Explanation:

As Martha Kolln says in the book Rhetorical Grammar (1999), "Diction will be effective only when the words you choose are appropriate for the audience and purpose, when they convey your message accurately and comfortably."

When we look up the word diction, we find several meanings, all interconnected, but with slight differences. In general, it can be said that diction refers to the choice of words an author makes. Such choice has a certain audience in mind and the purpose of making the piece of writing completely understandable. It is not only about choosing the correct words, but about choosing the correct words for that specific audience, to convey that specific message.

If I'm addressing an everyday issue while writing to an everyday audience, there will be no reason to choose a formal academic style with technical words. If my audience is formed by people who are not specialists in a certain area, using technical words of that area will only make them bored or uncomfortable. Thus, diction is essential to make my writing accessible and understandable to my audience.

Note: When it comes to literature, prose or poetry, diction refers to the choice of words that confers a certain style to the piece. It helps the speaker convey feelings, emotion, sensations, creating the mood.
