In which sentence are the words in bold an infinitive? We were forced to remain at the library because Mom had a flat tire. We felt that remaining at the library was a waste of time. We remained at the library because Mom couldn't get there by 2 o'clock. Our remaining at the library meant we would miss soccer practice.

Answer:

Hello. You didn't put any words in bold. However, the only infinitive word in all sentences shown in the question above is "To remain"

Step-by-step explanation:

In any case, infinitive words are verbs that are accompanied by the word "to" that is placed before the verb and never after.

In other words, when a verb is preceded by the word "to" it is an infinitive verb and represents a nominal form of the verb, which can be classified as a personal or impersonal infinitive verb, depending on how it fits into the sentence.
