सविस्तर विश्लेषण:
दिलेल्या वाक्यांमधील Non-finite Verbs चे विश्लेषण:
•
a. "To tell the truth, I quite forgot my promise."
•
येथे 'To tell' हे To-Infinitive आहे (वाक्य बरोबर).
•
b. "I saw him go."
•
see, hear, watch, make, let या क्रियापदानंतर Bare Infinitive (विना 'to' चे Infinitive) वापरले जाते. येथे 'go' हे Bare Infinitive आहे (वाक्य बरोबर).
•
c. "A rolling stone gathers no mass."
•
'rolling' हे विशेषणाचे काम करणारे Present Participle आहे (Infinitive नाही).
•
d. "Children love making mud castles."
•
'making' हे नामाचे काम करणारे Gerund आहे (Infinitive नाही).
•
e. "I hope you will excuse my leaving early."
•
'leaving' हे possessive pronoun 'my' नंतर येणारे Gerund आहे (Infinitive नाही).
•
त्यामुळे केवळ a आणि b या वाक्यांमध्ये Infinitives समाविष्ट आहेत.

Gerund: V-ing नामासारखे कार्य करते.
•
Participle: V-ing विशेषणासारखे कार्य करते.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option 4 (only a and b)
Detailed Explanation:
Analyzing the non-finite verbal forms:
•
Sentence a: *"To tell the truth, I quite forgot my promise."* contains the to-infinitive 'To tell'.
•
Sentence b: *"I saw him go."* contains a Bare Infinitive ('go') used without 'to' following the perception verb *saw*.
•
Sentence c: *"A rolling stone..."* contains a present participle functioning as an adjective ('rolling').
•
Sentence d: *"Children love making..."* contains a gerund ('making') acting as the direct object of *love*.
•
Sentence e: *"...my leaving early."* contains a gerund ('leaving') preceded by a possessive adjective.
•
Therefore, only a and b contain infinitives.
