Question

Choose the correct option to replace the word(s) given in brackets:

It is not easy (achieve) this target.

• A. achieve to
• B. achieving to
• C. to achieve
• D. to achieving

Answer 1

The correct option is C to achieve

The infinitive verb is a verb with the word 'to' in front of it. This verb is always just a verb. There is no - ed, no - ing, no - s at the end of the verb. Thus, option A, B and D are wrong according to the rule. The correct option is C since 'to' is in front of the verb 'achieve'. Hence, sentence would become: It is not easy to achieve this target.
