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

The correct answer is C, because it has a correct infinitive 'to act' and a gerund 'dreaming'. A and B don't have them, and in D, 'saving' is a participle, not a gerund.
