• A. thinking
• B. think
• C. to think
• D. thought

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

to think

Answer : C

Reading the sentence in the question, we understand that here to focus is on the agent (i.e. the person doing the action) -- here "My wife and I".

According to grammar rules, the active infinitive form of the verb is used.

A verb is converted to it's infinitive form by adding "to" before the base form of the verb. Therefore, the infinitive form of the verb "think", is "to think".

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:

My wife and I are thinking TO THINK we should stay at home.
