Answer: B- to the muse

Explanation: An infinitive is a phrase that will have the word “to” followed by a verb. When we look at the possible answers for this question, the words “town,” “muse,” “college,” and “university.” At first glance all of the words appear to be nouns. However, “muse” can actually serve as both a noun and a verb, which is why this question was a bit tricky. As a noun, “muse” can mean a poet or one inspiring an artist. As a verb, “muse” can mean to think/ponder. If “muse” is serving as a verb, then, yes, the phrase “to muse” would be an infinitive.
