Answer

Brief Explanations:

An infinitive is formed by the word "to" plus the base - form of a verb. In the first sentence "He tried to study the evidence that would lead him to the girl", the infinitive phrase is "to study the evidence" as it starts with "to" and has a verb "study" along with an object "the evidence". In the second sentence "Just when he started to doubt his plan, he found the scared young girl behind the door to the cabin", the infinitive phrase is "to doubt his plan" as it follows the "to + verb - base" structure with "doubt" being the verb and "his plan" being the object.

Answer:

  1. A. (to study the evidence)
  2. B. (to doubt his plan)
