faust18 [17]

Finding balance is important because it helps one improve overall health and wellbeing. These are steps to follow to improve a balance between things, and they can be:

Setting boundaries.
Asking for help.
Take a break.

<h3>What is a balance?</h3>

Balance is simply known to be creating time for the things you have to do as well as the things you want to do.

Setting boundaries is a method of safeguarding one's emotional and physical space, and this can be hard because most often, people feel responsible for the feeling of others and this can be overcome by telling someone how something they're doing makes you feel and asking for what you need from them instead.

Hence, we can see that creating a balance helps to prioritize important things and pay attention to body needs.

Which one contains an infinitive?

Elan Coil [88]

The phrase that is infinitive is given in option (a): to go to the store. Therefore, "to" is the first word, "go" is the verb, and ends with the place "store."

<h3>What are infinitive phrases?</h3>

A combination of words known as an infinitive phrase includes an infinitive, a modifier, pronouns, direct objects, indirect objects, or complements of the action or state described in the infinitive.

Find the word to first, then look for the infinitive phrase. Second, it is an infinitive if the word immediately after to is a verb. Third, the infinitive phrase starts at to and finishes at the end of the sentence if it occurs in the midst of the sentence.

Alternative example:

Dawn assisted her friend in making a cake for his mother.

('Helped' is the "special" verb.) Her companion is the direct object. The bare infinitive of the infinitive phrase is "bake." A cake is its direct object. This time, the infinitive sentence also has an indirect object ("his mother").

Hence, option (a) contains infinitive.
