Question

read the paragraph.

the event lasted two days and was even more successful than we had anticipated. we washed more than one hundred cars and raised almost $1,000. now we are well on our way to finalizing our plans—a trip to the city to see a broadway play!

how does the infinitive phrase \to see a broadway play\ contribute to the text?

it helps convey meaning about what happened in the past.

it adds a specific detail about place that is relevant to the text’s topic.

it provides a specific detail about time and the topic of the text.

it introduces the topic of the text by providing a direct object.

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1: The infinitive phrase is about a future plan (trip to see a play), not past events, so this is incorrect.
2. Analyze Option 2: The phrase "to see a Broadway play" describes the purpose of the trip to the city, adding a specific detail about the place (city) - related activity, which is relevant to the text's topic (the successful event and subsequent plans).
3. Analyze Option 3: The phrase does not provide details about time, so this is incorrect.
4. Analyze Option 4: The topic of the text is the successful car - wash event and raising money, not introduced by this infinitive phrase. The phrase is about a plan resulting from the event, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. It adds a specific detail about place that is relevant to the text’s topic.
