Read the sentence. A performer must create a dynamic connection to shine on the stage. How does the infinitive in the sentence function?

Answer
A
as a noun
B
as an adjective
C
as a verb
D
as an adverb

Explanation

The infinitive is “to shine.” It tells why a performer must create a dynamic connection, so it modifies the verb “create” by expressing purpose. An infinitive that modifies a verb functions as an adverb, making “as an adverb” the correct choice.
