Go here and read and study about infinitives. Then let me know what you decide. No guessing! That'll be too obvious!!
It's C
Why did you choose C?
I went to that website and I saw that the examples all had the word to so I picked C.
All those sentences have the word "to" in them, but only one has "to" followed by a verb. That's the definition of an infinitive — the "to" form of the verb.
to walk
to see
to write
So which one has "to" followed by a verb?
erc.
Excellent!
Thank you!
