Question

*To travel around the world* is the dream of many adventurous people. Identify the type of verbal phrase that has been underlined. a. participial b. gerund c. prepositional d. infinitive

Answer 1

The answer to this is infinitive - D.

I'd assume so, because infinitive phrases always start with "To (verb)"
The others would not work. I hope its right, Good luck!

Answer 2

d. Infinitive

Verbal phrases are phrases consisting of a verb, and modifiers, objects or objects, that do not act as verbs in a sentence but as a noun, an adjective or an adverb. Infinitive phrases start with a verb in their infinitive form (to + base form of the verb) and are followed by any objects, and/or modifiers.

The verbal phrase "To travel around the world" has the characteristic of an Infinitive phrase, and it acts as a noun and the subject of the sentence, as it is the idea or action that is being discussed in it.
