Answer:

C. The paragraph uses present-tense verbs. No infinitives are used. Sentences 4 and 5 contain gerunds.

Explanation:

Present tenses are tenses we use to talk about events that are taking place at the present time. There are four types of the present tense: present simple, present continuous, present perfect, and present perfect continuous. Examples of verbs used in the present tense in the given passage are: <em>depends, help, go, </em>and <em>think.</em>

The infinitive is the base form of a verb. It is usually preceded by <em>to</em>. There are no infinitives in the given passage.

A gerund is a noun derived from a verb by adding -<em>ing </em>to it. Examples of gerunds can be found in sentences 4 and 5: <em>feeling </em>and<em> staying.</em>
