there is no passage.

the puritans believed that god had formed a unique covenant, or agreement, with them. they believed that god expected them to live according to the scriptures, to reform the anglican church, and to set a good example that would cause those who had remained in england to change their sinful ways.

the correct answer is 4) infinitive phrase with a direct object

the explanation is that the infinitive phrase, "to with the younger children", functions as the object. it means the thing that the subject does.

1) no infinitive is incorrect because there is an infinitive verb in the sentence.

2) an infinitive only is incorrect because it is not in isollation. it is part of an infinitive phrase.

3) infinitive phrase with a subject is incorrect because in this example the infinitive phrase does not function as the subject doing the action of the sentence.
