Question

read the paragraph. the event lasted two days and was even more successful than we had anticipated. we washed more than one hundred cars and raised almost $1,000. now we are well on our way to finalizing our plans—a trip to the city to see a broadway play! how does the infinitive phrase \to see a broadway play\ contribute to the text? it helps convey meaning about what happened in the past. it provides a specific detail about time and the topic of the text. it introduces the topic of the text by providing a direct object. it adds a specific detail about place that is relevant to the texts topic.

Explanation:

The infinitive phrase "to see a Broadway play" is not about the past (the event was successful, cars washed, money raised - past actions). It's not about time (the time - two days - is already mentioned). It's not introducing the topic (the topic is the successful event and plans). It adds a specific detail (the place - Broadway) relevant to the trip (plans) which is the topic continuation.

Answer:

It adds a specific detail about place that is relevant to the text’s topic.
