@MysticalFlames Any ideas?

anonymous · Answer

I think it's to be secure, since it's saying that the right of the people is to be secure, by not being unreasonably searched

anonymous · Answer

I don't really understand the question though, do you?

unofficialllyy · Answer

And do you know anything about infinitive phrases?

anonymous · Answer

wait, nvm i see it now, one sec ima look over it

unofficialllyy · Answer

No problem

unofficialllyy · Answer

The question is pretty tricky, I've been stuck on it for awhile now.

anonymous · Answer

I think it's shall not be violated, because that's the only phrase that's actually portraying an action, rather than the idea of it. Idk though, you might wanna ask someone else cause I'm  pretty stupid.

unofficialllyy · Answer

Well I had shall be violated down in the first place, I just wasnt sure. I'm still not lol. It's okay, sadly there isn't many people here in the English section to ask unless you know someone who is online.

Lol, you know me??? xD

unofficialllyy · Answer

Well maybe you can look at this question.


We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The infinitive phrase begins with:
A. we the people
B. do ordain or establish
C. in order to form
D. provide for the common defense

unofficialllyy · Answer

I know infinitive phrases usually begin with "to", I guess thats where I'm thrown off.

anonymous · Answer

Pretty sure it's C, because "in order TO form" and since "form" is a simple verb, it makes sense

unofficialllyy · Answer

Yup that's what I was thinking too. I got them both right by the way, thanks!
