Answer 2

Answer:

The given sentences can be rewritten using introductory ‘It' at the  beginning as follows:

(iv) It would be a blunder to trust him.

(v) It is difficult to save money these days.

(vi) It is not easy to see through his trick.

Explanation:

• When the subject is an infinitive phrase, the sentence often starts with "it".

• However, "it" can be put at the beginning, especially if it is short when we wish to emphasize the infinitive phrase.

• It tends to be utilized in 'separated/cleft sentences' with who-and that- clauses to stress more one piece of a sentence.

• Introductory "It" is usually preferred in scholarly compositions to introduce the existence of something which can be then taken up as the theme of the next sentence.

• Introductory 'it' is preferred to give extra emphasis to the subject it is introduced to.

1. It would be a blunder to trust him.- To emphasize more on 'the blunder'

2. It is difficult to save money these days.- To focus more on 'what is difficult'

3. It is not easy to see through his trick.- To highlight 'what is not easy'.
