Answer:

Noun

Explanation:

An infinitive phrase is defined as the infinitive form of a verb which includes any type of complements & modifiers.

So in this question, the infinitive phrase would be "to find shelter".

The infinite phrase here is used as an object due to the fact that it is governed by the verb "ran".

Now in literature, an object is defined as a noun/pronoun that is governed by a verb or even a preposition.

Thus the infinitive phrase is a noun.

What are mobile laptops in one term? Will mark brainliest if answer is satisafctory help!!​
klasskru [66]
Not sure if this is what you mean but since laptops are mobile (they’re literally mobile computers,) you could just say ‘laptops’ and it would mean the same thing. You could say ‘devices’ to be reaaaally general, but if you say ‘laptop’ it means the same thing as ‘mobile laptop’. So you could just say “Laptop” to mean the same thing in one word.
