Question

Choose the sentence that might be found in a personal narrative that correctly uses both a gerund and an infinitive.

a. Acting became my door to a world of adventure and excitement.
b. Although I had participated in school plays since I was in first grade, my parents did not appreciate my acting.
c. If only they had realized that to act was the focus of my dreaming.
d. I knew I had to show them how I felt by saving all my money to attend drama camp.

Answer 1

Let's start with an infinitive: it has a form "to..." - only sentences C and D have a phrase like this, so we can exclude other options.

Among those, C does not have a gerund, which is a verbal form: "dreaming" has a function of a noun there.

So the correct answer is the remaining one, D.
