Fill in the blank. __________ him would be a pleasure.
Question and options
Fill in the blank.
__________ him would be a pleasure.
__________ him would be a pleasure.
- To help
- Help
- Helped
- Having helped
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - To help
The blank is the subject of 'would be a pleasure', and an infinitive phrase can act as a subject: 'To help him would be a pleasure.' The bare verb 'Help' and the past form 'Helped' cannot be a subject here, and 'Having helped' refers to a completed action, which clashes with 'would be'.
