To-infinitive clauses may convey an idea of purpose. Bearing this in mind, answer the
following question: is there a difference between the two statements below? Choose the
best explanation:
I - Elinor looked surprised at his emotion; but tried not to laugh off the subject.
II - Elinor looked surprised at his emotion; but didn't try to laugh off the subject.
There is no difference between I and II.
Only I is correct.
Only II is correct.

does not laugh off the subject; whereas in II, she just did not laugh off the subject.

As duas frases estão corretas gramaticalmente. No entanto, em "Elinor looked
surprised at his emotion; but didn't try to laugh off the subject", a ação de "tentar" está
sendo negada, pois o verbo auxiliar está em sua forma negativa. Para negar uma
cláusula to-infinitive, a palavra "not" deve preceder a cláusula, que é o caso de "Elinor
looked surprised at his emotion; but tried not to laugh off the subject". Portanto, a
única opção correta é: "Both I and II are correct, but they entail different meanings: in I,
she purposely does not laugh off the subject; whereas in II, she just did not laugh off
the subject."

clauses function as circumstantial adjuncts, they provide us with the reason why.
