Answer 1
Answer: The only sentence here with an infinitive phrase is the first one, and the infinitive phrase there is 'to write'. You ask the question - What did Christa choose? in order to find the object of that sentence, and the answer is 'to write'. 
Answer 2
Answer:

A.  Christa chose to write a literary critique of the novel Oliver Twist.

An infinitive phrase will include the word “to” in addition to a verb.  For instance, “to run,” “to sleep,” and “to laugh” are all infinitives.  If the word “to” is followed by a noun, “to” would be a preposition.  And, an object is the recipient of the action/verb.  With that in mind, in Option A we can see that “to write” is receiving the action “chose,” which makes “to write” a direct object.

"One hundred years of delay have passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their grandsons, are not fully free. They are not yet freed from the bonds of injustice. They are not yet freed from social and economic oppression. And this Nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free." In this excerpt from President Kennedy's 1963 Civil Rights Address the phrase "the bonds of injustice" most likely refers to:

one hundred years of delay
before President Lincoln freed the slaves
social and economic oppression of their heirs
the hopes and boasts of this nation

Answers

Answer:

One hundred years of delay.

Explanation:

John F. Kennedy's 1963 Civil Rights Address revolves around the issue of the African Americans' inability to enjoy the full rights of the white American citizens. In his speech, he addressed the need to allow all rightful citizens of America the right to "enjoy the full and free life which all of us want".

The given excerpt also talks about the dissolving of slavery or racial discrimination by President Abraham Lincoln, but which still persists. He implores on the people to keep the promise of the former president and help make the blacks feel safe. He used the phrase "bonds of injustice" to imply to the hundred years of delay that has been since the emancipation, the years under which they still suffer.
