A split infinitive, or cleft infinitive, denotes a grammatical structure where a word or phrase intervenes between the to and the bare infinitive of the to form of the verb in infinitive form. Typically, an adverb or adverbial phrase is inserted between them. Accordingly, the sentences that feature split infinitives include:

- 2. I strive to entirely ignore my little brother when he’s bothering me.

- 3. Daniella’s parents instructed her to swiftly set the table

The term badly is an adverb, which modifies verbs and other words: badly constructed furniture; she was treated very badly. In this revised sentence, the word bad  functions as an adjective after a linking verb "felt."

Which sentence from a business letter most clearly uses biased language?
Leya [7372]

Correct answer: B.

Although all options would be unsuitable in a professional letter, only option B contains language that reveals bias.

This sentence assumes the receptionist's gender as female, which is biased. A better way to write it would be: "I'll ask the receptionist to make an appointment." This phrasing avoids gender assumptions.
