Usually at $9$ but tomorrow I'll have to be there a bit earlier ____ through some documents.

• A. looking
• B. looked
• C. to be looking

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

to look

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. Here, to-infinitive is used with adjective. 'Earlier' is an adjective in the sentence. Thus, options A, B, C and E are wrong according to the rule. The correct option is D since 'to' is in front of the verb 'look' and used with adjective.
