Explanation:

• An infinitive phrase is a group of words that uses an infinitive (to+verb). An infinitive is verbal word, that is a word which expresses action; therefore, an infinitive phrase has the same role of expressing action in the sentence.

• An infinitive phrase will start  with an infinitive [to+simple form of the verb]. It will comprise objects and/or modifiers

• Infinitive phrases can function as nouns/adjectives/adverbs, example, To finish her Maths homework without making mistakes was Amanda's  goal tonight.

• When an infinitive phrase acts as a noun, it answers the question what. Therefore, the infinitive phrase will be the subject that acts as the verb/an object that receives the action of the verb, example, To get excellent grades is my goal. (what is your goal?)

• When an infinitive phrase functions like an adjective in the sentence, it describes a pronoun/noun. Therefore it will describe a subject/an object, example, I want a coach to teach me basketball.(describes the coach)

• When an infinitive phrase acts an adverb, it modifies the verb in the sentence. Adverbs answer questions such as where/when/why/how/for what reason/purpose; therefore, as an adverb, the infinitive will answer the same questions, example, Snehal sat down to take the test. (for what/reason )

• When an infinitive phrase introduces a main clause, separate the two sentence components with a comma, example, To avoid burning another bag of popcorn, Brenda kept peering through the  the microwave's glass door.

• When the infinitive phrase breaks the main clause's flow, we must use a comma both before as well as after the break/interrupter, example, Those blue-coloured ear-rings, to be really honest, do not complement the jumpsuit you are planning to wear to the birthday party.

• When the infinitive phrase ends a main clause, we do not use punctuation to join the 2 sentence parts, example, Jane and her friends went to the shopping mall to purchase

gifts for their mother whose birthday was tomorrow.

• The correct words to fill the given paragraph is given above.
• The first blank will be filled with 'set out', a phrasal verb meaning 'the beginning of a journey.'
• The second blank will employ the preposition 'besides' to link the saddle with the remaining part of the sentence. The next two blanks will employ the past form of the verb to denote that he headed his way to home and the way 'had' a thick forest in between.
• The fifth blank will use the preposition 'on' to link the sentence with the pronoun 'himself.'
