Answer 1

Answer:

wash

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Wash is the correct answer.

Explanation:

This cloth is easy to wash.

• In this sentence, the verb "wash" has been used in the infinitive form. When we use "easy"(adjective) with an infinitive, we need to use the preposition "to" before the verb(wash) to form an infinitive phrase.
• An infinitive almost every time begins with "to", as to state a purpose. For example: to eat, to play, to dance, etc.
• On the other hand, gerunds act as nouns, and they are formed by adding "-ing" to a verb. For example: washing, swimming, dancing, etc. They can be used as a subject or object of a sentence but they are not suitable after the adjective "easy". The sentence " this cloth is easy to washing" is not correct.
• Therefore, the correct form to use is the infinitive "to wash".
