Kurtis moved to a new city and is started the new job he was hired for. c. Kurtis moved to a new city to starting the job he was hired for. d. Kurtis will be moving to a new city to started the job he was hired for. D is wrong

Answer 1

Answer:  a. Kurtis is moving to a new city to start the job he was hired for.

Step-by-step explanation: "is moving"  is present progressive tense.

"was hired"  is passive past tense.

"to start" is an infinitive.

These are correct verb forms.

b is almost correct. Kurtis "moved" is OK  in the past tense. *is started* should be "has started"

c  is partly correct.  *to starting* is ungrammatical here.

d  is wrong because *to started* is always ungrammatical.
