Which sentence contains an error in the reporting-verb pattern contrast for promise, offer, and refuse?
The caretaker offered to oil the stiff hinges before opening time.
The translator promised her editor to finish the glossary by Friday.✓Richtige Antwort
The witness refused to alter her account of the collision.
The carpenter promised to reinforce the shelving before delivery.
Erklärung
The translator sentence is erroneous because promised her editor to finish inserts an object before the infinitive. Promise takes the promised action directly as a to-infinitive in this complementation map.
