Answer 1

Answer: A) As a new faculty member, Susan wanted to succeed.

Step-by-step explanation: an infinitive is the basic form of a verb, without an inflection binding it to a particular subject or tense. A direct object is the part of the sentence that receives the action from the verb. From the given options, the sentence that includes an infinitive used as a direct object is the corresponding to option A: as a new faculty member, Susan wanted to succeed, the direct object is "to succeed."
