subject; whereas in II, she purposedly does not laugh off the subject.
Only II is correct.
Both I and II are correct, but they entail different meanings: in I, she purposedly does not
laugh off the subject; whereas in II, she just did not laugh off the subject.
There is no difference between I and II.
Data Resp.: 31/03/2023 20:39:36
Explicação:
Both sentences are grammatically correct. However, in Elinor looked surprised at his emotion;
but didn't try to laugh off the subject the action of "trying" is being negated, as the auxiliary
verb is in its negative form.  In order to negate a to-in�nitive clause, the word "not" should
precede the clause, which is the case of Elinor looked surprised at his emotion; but tried not to
laugh off the subject. The only correct option is then: Both I and II are correct, but they entail
different meanings: in I, she purposedly does not laugh off the subject; whereas in II, she just did
not laugh off the subject.
To-in�nitive clauses can be divided into �ve different types: believe type, advise type, attempt
type, want type and let type. Mark the option in which an attempt-type main verb is completed by
a to-in�nitive clause:
Read the passage below, by taking into consideration the role of RPCs in academic contexts:

He had heard many people say the same.
Emma wanted him very much to be gone.
But she had believed them to be well-meaning, worthy people (¿).
Emma made no answer, and tried to look cheerfully unconcerned.
Data Resp.: 31/03/2023 20:42:35

Attempt type in�nitives are semantically controlled by exactly the same subject of the main
clause. This category includes verbs such as:
attempt
tend
begin
continue
fail
forget
manage
offer
proceed
promise
regret
remember
start
try
vow.
The only option that presents this type of verb is: Emma made no answer, and tried to look
cheerfully unconcerned, since the verb "tried" precedes the non-�nite clause.

times.
Data Resp.: 31/03/2023 20:46:34

Answer: The results achieved were overall good considered the economic context of our
country.
Feedback: Nominalizing sentences through turning subordinate clauses into reduced ones is
done through the deletion of the subject of the subordinate clause and the be verb and the
transformation of the tense verb in a participle form. Thus the only option which presents such
a case is "The results achieved were overall good considered the economic context of our
country".
