Answer 2

The answer is 'to survive.'

Infinitive

• Infinitive refers to the simplest form of the verb, which is present in a sentence.

• Infinitives are always preceded by the preposition 'to.'

• 'Survive' is the simplest form of the verb and is also preceded by 'to.' Thus, it is the infinitive.

• Since 'left' is in the past tense, it is not in the simplest form. Thus, it is not an infinitive.
