Which sentence contains an infinitive or infinitive phrase? a. Starting tomorrow, I'm turning over a new leaf.
b. To me, that's the best story in the world.
c. Weren't you going to finish that song?
d. Save some of that cornbread for me.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: C is the correct answer because it is the only sentence where there is an infinitive present, in this case that is 'to finish'. The other sentences do not contain an infinitive: 'starting' is a participle, 'am turning' is present continuous, 'is' is present simple, 'weren't going' is past continuous', and 'save' is imperative.

Which sentence below is properly punctuated?a. While Bertie was away, Miss Paxton ran the office; made executive decisions, and gave herself a nice raise.
b. While Bertie was away, Miss Paxton ran the office, made executive decisions, and gave herself a nice raise.
c. While Bertie was away: Miss Paxton ran the office, made executive decisions, and gave herself a nice raise.

Answers

B. While Bertie was away, Miss Paxton ran the office, made executive decisions, and gave herself a long raise.

Colons should only be for an ordered list, so the colon should come after Miss Paxton, not before. Semi-colons are used to separate two phrases that could be a sentence, so A is not correct either. B is therefore the correct answer because the comma has multiple purposes.
the correct answer is b. While Bertie was away, Miss Paxton ran the office, made executive decisions, and gave herself a nice raise.
