You're welcome.
To get the answer for the first question, we can identify the subject, verb, and object in the two sentences.
In the first sentence, the subject is "Matt," the verb is "hiked," and there is no direct object. In the second sentence, the subject is "it," the verb is "made," and the object is "him tired."
Now, to combine these two sentences using a gerund phrase, we need to convert the verb "hiked" into a gerund (-ing form of the verb). The correct sentence that combines the two using a gerund phrase is:
a. Hiking the trail yesterday made Matt tired.
To get the answer for the second question, an infinitive phrase starts with the word "to" followed by a verb in its base form. In the given sentence, we can identify the infinitive phrase as:
b. to visit the Holocaust museum.
