To determine which sentence uses an infinitive as an adjective, we need to first understand what an infinitive is. An infinitive is the base form of a verb typically preceded by the word "to" (e.g., to run, to eat, to sing).
Now, let's analyze each sentence:
A) "To become an engineer has always been a dream of mine." In this sentence, the infinitive "to become" functions as the subject of the sentence, not as an adjective.
B) "Sally tried to play the guitar, but she became a singer instead." Here, the infinitive "to play" is part of the verb phrase "to play the guitar" and does not function as an adjective.
C) "Fred was a serious soccer player and was determined to win each game." The infinitive "to win" is part of the verb phrase "to win each game" and does not function as an adjective.
D) "The best way to learn to make biscuits is to talk to my mom." In this sentence, the infinitive "to learn" describes the noun "way." It answers the question "What kind of way?" and functions as an adjective modifying the noun "way." Therefore, the correct answer is sentence D.
