Answer 2

To sink is the infinitive in the given sentence.

Explanation:

• Infinitives are 'to' + verb forms.
• The verb that is followed would be plainly the verb, without any modification in it in anyway.
• There are other verbs in the sentence -began, stuck.
• But the above two are not in the format 'to' + verb. They have been modified according to the tense (past).
• Therefore there is only one infinitive form of verb in the sentence -to sink.
• Other examples of the infinitives are -to read, to eat, to go, etc.,
