Question

Choose the sentence that correctly combines the sentences or sentence elements by changing the italicized clause to an infinitive. Indicate whether the infinitive phrase is used as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb. Kimberly touched the flowers. She saw that they were real. Kimberly touched the flowers to see if they were real. The infinitive is used as a(n) adjective

Answer 1

Answer:

- Kimberly touched the flowers to see if they were real.

Explanation:

Infinitives are defined as the 'non-finite verb(to + base form of the verb) that is considered neutral with respect to inflection.' The sentence 'Kimberly touched the flowers to see if they were real' most aptly links the two clauses using the infinitive 'to see.' In this sentence, 'to see' is functioning as an adjective as it is functioning to qualify the noun 'the flowers.'
