Identify the type of phrase and its function in the following sentence.

the best topic to write about is one you know well.

The correct answers are: infinitive phrase; adjective.

Explanation:

The phrase we are looking at is to write about; given that it contains and infinitive, we can safely assume it's an infinitive phrase. Now, given that it modifies, or describes a noun, it means that it acts as if it were an adjective.

Since adjectives are words or phrases that modify nouns, the function of the infinitival phrase here is that of an adjective. It's not just any topic: it's the best topic to write about.

- "the die is cast; i have consented to return if we are not destroyed. thus are my hopes blasted by cowardice and indecision; i come back ignorant and disappointed. it requires more philosophy than i possess to bear this injustice with patience. i have lost my hopes of utility and glory; i have lost my friend."

in my opinion, anyone should be allowed to marry as long as it's not going against any laws. though i kind of contradict myself because i know that in some states and countries, gay marriage isn't legal yet- hopefully you get my point.
