17. In which sentence is the entire infinitive phrase underlined?

Yuri [45]

Answer:

The best preparation for a game is to practice until you know all the plays.

The crowd was excited to see a great play. 

To cheer good plays made by both teams is good sportsmanship.

Explanation:

An infinitive phrase is a set of words, with an infinitive as its main part and with some modifiers and complements as an addition. All these words act as one phrase and have one function in a sentence (infinitive phrase can act as a noun or an adjective or an adverb).

Since nothing is underlined in these answers, let's find infinitive phrases for each of them:

-The best preparation for a game is to practice until you know all the plays - infinitive here is "to practice" but if we want to be more precise on the amount of practice and to modify this infinitive, then our phrase would be "to practice until you know all the plays".

- The crowd was excited to see a great play - the infinitive is "to see" but we don't know what, so the entire phrase is "to see a great play"

- To cheer good plays made by both teams is good sportsmanship - the infinitive is "to cheer" and the sentence "To cheer is good sportsmanship" could be valid. But, if we want to be more precise, we would say "to cheer good plays". Of course, we can go into even more details and say the entire phrase "to cheer food plays made by both teams"

How does Yoni’s motivation for speaking with Sergei compare with the goldfish’s motivation? What theme is revealed by Sergei’s i

xenn [34]

Yoni's motivation in talking to Sergei is to get good material for the documentary he is making. This compares to the goldfish motivation because the goldfish is motivated to fill someone's life with good things.

The theme revealed through the way Sergei acts is the theme that happiness is never eternal and there will always be times when it won't be there.

Although you did not present the text to which this question refers, we can see from the context of the question that you are referring to "What of this Goldfish, Would You Wish?"

By reading this short story, we can say that:

The story shows how a poor boy named Yoni has the brilliant idea of filming a documentary to sell to a large television network.
The documentary consists of filming people who will answer the question "What would you want if you had a magical fish that could grant wishes?"
While interviewing people, Yoni ends up arriving at Sergei's house, which does have a magical wish-granting goldfish.
Sergei is a foreigner and is in a moment where he considers himself happy.
This is because, in addition to having a magical fish, he is living the way he wanted.
However, he doesn't want to reveal that he has a magic fish to Yoni and Yoni's insistence on interviewing him causes his happiness to slowly dissipate.
