Question

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

Our immediate aim is (provide) financial help to the needy.

• A. provide to
• B. providing to
• C. to providing
• D. to provide

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

to provide

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, options A, B and C are wrong according to the rule. The correct option is D since 'to' is in front of the verb 'provide'. Hence, sentence would become: Our immediate aim is to provide financial help to the needy.
