What is the capitalized phrase?
TO SCORE ACCURATELY, bowlers must learn what the terms spare, strike, and split mean.
Infinitive phrase****
Gerund phrase
Adverb phrase
none of the above
I though that the capitalized phrase was an infinitive phrase.
You are correct.
Thank you!! Yayay!
You're welcome. :-)
To verify your answer, let's break down the sentence structure. In the given sentence, the capitalized phrase is "TO SCORE ACCURATELY." This phrase starts with the infinitive marker "to" followed by the verb "score" and an adverb "accurately."
To confirm if it is indeed an infinitive phrase, we need to ask ourselves if it is functioning as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb in the sentence.
In this case, the phrase "TO SCORE ACCURATELY" is functioning as an adverb, modifying the verb "must learn." It answers the question "how" the bowlers must learn: by scoring accurately.
So, the correct answer is that the capitalized phrase is not an infinitive phrase, but an adverb phrase.
