Answer:
Man: "So, my car broke down yesterday and I had to have it towed. Can you fix it?"
Mechanic: "Well, sure. Do you know <em>why </em>it broke down? That makes my job easier, knowing exactly what to fix."
Man: "No, not really. Maybe a problem with the engine?"
Mechanic: "I don't need guesses. Guesses don't help. I'll just find the problem and fix it. Your car should be ready in a few hours."
Man: "Um, OK, thanks. I'll come back tomorrow."
Mechanic: "Hey, how are you even getting home without your car?"
Man: "Oh, I'm just riding in my wife's car for now."
Mechanic: "Oh, OK, great. OH! The problem comes from the turbo air intake!"
Man: "Um, great! Bye."
Mechanic: "Huh? Oh, bye."
Answer:
Charles Dickens became my favorite author after I read "A Tale of Two Cities".
Explanation:
engages the reader
teaches the reader something useful (a new way of thinking about the essay in question)
helps the reader to see the bigger picture that the summarized essay is a part of, and
helps you as the writer to gain a deeper understanding of the issues and arguments of the essay being summarized.
Option B) is the correct one. In order for the infinitive to act as an adjective, it has to modify a noun. In this case the infinitive “To note down” is modifying the noun “diary”.
Option C) and D) are incorrect as the infinitives “to cook” and “to play” are modifying the verbs “wanted” and “likes”.
Option A) is also incorrect because the infinitive “to convince” is modifying the adjective “hard”.
