Question 19 • CA-English Language Arts 12 B – 1744

Tiana always aims to completely, efficiently, and without error finish her homework. [___]

Answer
A
Revise it to eliminate the split infinitive.
B
Revise it to split the infinitive.
C
No revision is necessary.

Explanation

The word “completely” comes between “to” and the verb “finish,” splitting the infinitive “to finish.” To avoid the split infinitive, move the modifying phrase after the verb: “Tiana always aims to finish her homework completely, efficiently, and without error.”
