In number 1, none of the statements is correct! Teachers teach students; students learn from teachers. A correct sentence that conveys the message is "Teachers teach students to do their homework quickly." The adverb "quickly" here modifies the infinitive "to do"; the students do homework quickly. You could also say "Teachers quickly teach students to do their homework." In this case, the teaching is quick.
In number 2, the correct answer is a. refuse. It is the only verb in this set that uses "to" after it. |
