Explanation:

An infinitive is the base form of a verb preceded by "to". We identify sentences with this structure:

1. "to earn" in the first sentence is an infinitive.
2. "to write" in the fourth sentence is an infinitive.

The other sentences use verbs in past or past participle forms without the "to + base verb" structure.

Answer:

• Amy put in a lot of hard work to earn her bachelor's degree in computer science
• It was Claudia's childhood dream to write her favorite author's biography someday
